Wait, you don't even know why I'm doing it because it's interesting about Merlin the Magician and King Arthur. They're all amazing. You don't even know how cool they are when you read it and you see why it is so cool.Feudalism is really cool and it is so cool and they are  government and there are different classes. Read this text to find out what the different classes are and which is more valuable than others and which have to do all the work.feudalism, king arthour, and merlin magician made the Middle Ages a unique period in time.

Feudalism

According to “ Feudalism and Medieval Life” , “The social structure of the Middle Ages was organized round the system of Feudalism”.The government  system used in the Middle Ages is Feudalism it is were the king’s rule over the people and the knight defend for the town only if the have paid their taxes.During the Middle Ages is when the people outside the castle had to do all the work and the people in the castle had been treated like royalty and were trusted by the king.The Middle Ages is were the worker and every one work exempted people trusted by the king and the worker were under the Feudalism System and the king  is the  highest class and worker were the lowest class knight and priest were in the middle of worker and the king class  and the farmer are right next to the worker class.The Feudalism System is a class to keep everyone in check except the king the king gets to  do whatever he want and so do the knight and the priest also get to do what  they want but the worker don’t get to do what they want so the feudalism system is a system unfair for the people who work.According to “Ducksters Middle Ages Feudalism System”, “The basic government and society in Europe during the middle ages was based around the Feudal System. Small communities were formed around the local lord and the manor. The lord owned the land and everything in it. He would keep the peasants safe in return for their service. The lord, in return, would provide the king with soldiers or taxes”.

King Arthur

According to “King Arthur Legendary king of Britain'' , “King Arthur, also called Arthur or Arthur Pendragon, legendary British king who appears in a cycle of medieval romances (known as the Matter of Britain) as the sovereign of a knightly fellowship of the Round Table. It is not certain how these legends originated or whether the figure of Arthur was based on a historical person. The legend possibly originated either in Wales or in those parts of northern Britain inhabited by Brythonic-speaking Celts. (For a fuller treatment of the stories about King Arthur, see also Arthurian legend).king Aruthor was a knight apart of the knight of the round house table with his other worthy friend that he knighted to be by his side to take down his sister so he can have victory so he does not let the evil in to the world.King Aruthor was the leader of the knight of the round table because he is worthy  of  the sword in the stone and he douse them so he the leader because if your douse you have to follow and protect the leader.According to “How king arthur work” , “The name King Arthur conjures up a very specific image, thanks to his enduring presence in stories, novels, plays, movies and songs. In these, Arthur is a legendary hero and visionary leader who took control of Britain during a troubled time. The fictional king unites various regional British kings against common enemies and fights off countless invaders. He also goes on a quest for the Holy Grail, a chalice Jesus used at the Last Supper that's said to contain the secret of immortality. The story goes that when Britain is most in need of his services, Arthur will return.¨

Merlin the Magician

According to “Merlin the legendary magician”Merlin, enchanter and wise man in Arthurian legend and romance of the Middle Ages, linked with personages in ancient Celtic mythology (especially with Myrddin in Welsh tradition). He appeared in Arthurian legend as an enigmatic figure, fluctuations and inconsistencies in his character being often dictated by the requirements of a particular narrative or by varying attitudes of suspicious regard toward magic and witchcraft. Thus, treatments of Merlin reflect different stages in the development of Arthurian romance itself”.Merlin was a wizard but he called himself a magician and he ages backward and find’s sertend thing to make sure he does not turn into a baby and merlin the magician was devoted to help king arthur take down king arthur sister every time she rises again he duplicated items that are useful so the knight have more of the useful items.According to “Merlin the Magician” , “King Arthur’s most trusted advisor, prophet, magician, and friend, Merlin was almost certainly the creation of Geoffrey of Monmouth, who writes extensively about Merlin in his twelfth century work The History of the Kings of Britain. Geoffrey combined tales and stories of a bard and wizard named Myrddin, who was created by a ninth century mystic named Nennius. Nennius chronicled that Myrddin had been born of no earthly father and used his wizardry and powers to foretell the defeat of the British by the Saxons.King Arthur’s most trusted advisor, prophet, magician, and friend, Merlin was almost certainly the creation of Geoffrey of Monmouth, who writes extensively about Merlin in his twelfth century work The History of the Kings of Britain”.
