Peasants: Peasants were poor citizens who would farm or practice another service on the lords land in exchange for fiefs, or land. Knights: Kights were mounted warriors who pledged to defend their Lord's land from invaders, in exchange for fiefs, or land.

The Lords would live in Manors, castle-like houses, while the Kights and Peasants would live in cottages spread around the Lord's land. For living on the Lord's land, Peasants had to pay high priced taxes, like taxes on grounding grain in the Lord's mill and getting married. Nobles: In the Feudal System, Nobles were rich land owners who would grant fiefs, or land to vassals in return for them to take care of the land or protect the land using military force. The Nobles in this cycle would be the Lords who would give fiefs to peasants in exchange for the peasants to work the land. The wealth of these Lords came from the labor of the pesants. The lords would also give land to Kights, who in return would protect the land from invaders. The cycle of Feudalism mainly revolved around Lord's, Knights, Priests, and Peasants. The citizens of the country were still loyal to the King, but they were mostly preoccupied with being loyal to their Lord. and the system which it describes were not conceived of as a formal political system by the people who lived during the Middle Ages. King: In Feudalism, the King who ruled over the country was not very involved in the cycle. Feudalism, also known as the feudal system, was the combination of the legal, economic, military. In the feudal system, wealthy Nobles, or Lords will give a fief, or land to a vassal in exchange for military protection or other services. The feudal system is based on mutual obligations between Lords and vassals.
