What was fudal system |
|
Answer» At the heart of feudalism is a basic idea common to any society with a warrior caste. Such men NEED to be provided for. In a simple economy this means that the produce of an appropriate NUMBER of peasants or serfs must UNDERWRITE the expenses of the fighting man. In ancient SPARTA, where all free men are warriors, the support comes from the defeated and enslaved peasants of Messenia, KNOWN as the helots. |
