Feudalism

The Feudalism System is when small communities were formed in the past.The king, who is the boss, managed the land but he couldn't manage it by himself so he divided it into barons, the barons represented the pledged and loyalty to the soldiers and the kings .there was a small village that was formed around the castle the king managed all that.But the barons and the nobles ruled large areas of land called fiefs they always reported to the king and they were so strong and powerful.Therefor most of the people living in the middle ages were peasants their life was really hard because they were not free they couldn't follow their dreams they worked 6 days of the week which just gave them one day to rest which was not enough for them . Feudalism fas forced to be made by this group of guys it was built upon a relationship of obligation.The vassal was required to be attended at the court to help administer justice.On the lord's side he was obliged to protect the vassal which was really important at the land just to protect the children.Lords had a lot of armies to protect themselves from anything dangerous that's gonna come by near them they were always prepared and had groups of men with weapons walking around the land to see if there was any danger they did this to protect families and danger was always near them. The social structure of the middle ages was organized around the system of feudalism because it was the strongest and smart  and more prepared system on the land.

Life in a Medieval Castle 

 Life at the medieval castle would have always included military activities.These castles were built in England in 1066 which is a long time ago. Every castel they built had a lot of power in them because of who owned or worshiped it it all depended about how the king controlled it .To serve the lord a lot of the castles would be frenzied.But mostly every castel they built contained military activities just to prepare for their future wars. Whoever built the castles always re-signed the castles for under cover and to trick people.Therefore balck death was super named due because of the physical manifestation that was affected in the society.Death was begun in the fourteen century in southern russian. A lot of people died over 75 million people died when the black death happened. But then the influence of the church was greatly and exaggeratedly damaged. But the medieval castle was always busy with kitchen work since the castle was big. However in the medieval times symptoms contained blood tinged which increased more free flowing infection around the land it started going around people and was just past one to another this infection really harmed people and thats why its called black death because of its really harmful diseases.They always had to have really big meals for guests or just for who owns the castle but they still did big meals just for decorations or also just to represent what is happening. When people view the medieval castle it was really hard to grasp just because of how busy and energetic that identical castle could have been at the measure of the past medieval times. 

Coat of Arms 

Back then people couldn't read but that was the past that's why heraldry was invented. People got their coat of arms presenting their heraldry on banners and shields.Every heraldry each person made was really unique and each one was designed what people were thinking. Each part of the shield had a specific meaning. You could use a lot of different things to represent what they wanted to mean but  they used a lot of unique and different things to mean what they wanted to express.The lifestyle back then at the middle ages was so different in how it is now like every guy working was working on fields and doing heavy work. Sowing and reaping  days was the favorites of all people they celebrated with crush which by the way it was delicious and they played a lot of social activities with each other like defending and wrestling all types of fight that were gonna protect them from dangerous things.They had the opportunity to practice their skills at the warfare and it was practiced as a tradition so they can be prepared for cautions coming ahead of them. However they also trained hawks and eagles to hunt down small animals to eat. They taught them to get food so that they don't have to because they would have been in some danger so that's why they train hawks and eagles to get food for them to eat.Their religion was not really different as it is today but the activities were kinda different from right now the activities they did were cause of those who were different.

Conclusion 

Feudalism was small communities controlled by the king so he divided it by barons so that it could be easier to control. As a result the medieval castle was a word ship by the king that controlled it. The medieval castle had a lot of power in it. Then the heldarly was invented for people to communicate because back then they didn't know how to read so they invented shields which each person made one and each one had a different meaning and expressed something different. It's important to learn about the middle ages because it's important for you to know how our religion was treated in the past and how they controlled and how it was celebrated.
