Bibra. "File:Christian v Crown.jpg." //Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia//. Web. 20 Jan. 2012. . Feudalism: a legal and social system that evolved in western europe in the 8th and 9th centuries where vassels were protected by lords, through the granting of fiefs and were required to serve them under war.

The first signs of European Feudalism emerging were in Germany and France in the late 9th and 10th centuries. This coincided with the powerful military force of the Normans. There were some components of the Roman regime that worked their way into European Feudalism. Land was given to military leaders in return for their loyalty towards the emperor. European leaders adopted the idea of having substantially strong forces to protect them. Power was increased by the giving of more land, and this created European Feudalism.

"The spread of Feudalism in Europe was very quick, from France it traveled to Europe's major cities like Germany, Spain, Italy, Scandanavia, England and Slavic countries."

Heirarchy in EuropeanFeudalism was easy to occur. The King lead the hierarchy surrounded by his nobles. The hierarchy was caused by the need to conquest new lands and territories. Though there was hierarchy, you could work your way up the power ladder, but the thing is you didn't need to be of royal birth. If a fighter showed his loyalty and proved himself in battle, in return he could be rewarded in land, and with land power can follow.
