  3. The fall of Rome in 476 A.D. altered the map of Europe. The once great empire was replaced by hundreds of small kingdoms.

  4. Collapse of Central Government During the Roman Empire, there was a central government. It made laws and had armies to protect people. However, with the fall of Rome, the central government collapsed. Hundreds of little kingdoms governed in its place.

  5. After the fall of Rome, the empire was divided among the various Barbarian tribes.

  6. Increased Warfare The new kingdoms frequently fought in an attempt to acquire more land. This increased fighting frightened people and encouraged people to think of new ways of protecting themselves. New political and economic systems developed.

  7. It was a dangerous time to be a peasant. Vikings and other enemies invaded the kingdoms. Poor people turned to rich landowners with armies for protection.

  8. Peasants Needed Protection Peasants were frightened. They turned to landowners for protection. Peasants offered their labor in exchange for protection. These peasants were called serfs.

  9. The Early Middle Ages was a dangerous time.

  10. Serfs A Serf was “bound to the land.” He could not leave his lord’s land. He was not a slave because he could not be sold. But he was not free because he could not leave.

  11. People who owned land were called Lords. Lords gave land to lesser lords called vassals. A vassal had to obey his lord and give military service and loyalty to his lord.

  12. Feudalism Feudalism was the political and military system of the Middle Ages. Land exchanged for loyalty. In a feudal society, land is exchanged for military service and loyalty. The ownership of land was the basis or power.

  13. A fief was the Lord’s land exchanged for loyalty. The manor was part of the fief. The Manor was the part of the fief where the peasants farmed and the people lived.

  14. Manorialism Manorialismwas the economic system of the Middle Ages. Manorialism is a self-sufficient economy. Everything that is necessary for life is created on the manor.
