Medieval Culture and Feudalism
Medieval culture and feudalism epitomize a complex societal structure prevalent in Europe from the 5th to the 15th century. Rooted in the feudal system, power was decentralized, with lords granting land in exchange for loyalty and service. This era witnessed a fusion of religious, artistic, and social elements, shaping the cultural landscape profoundly. Feudalism's hierarchical nature influenced all aspects of life, from governance to economics, perpetuating a rigid social order. Understanding medieval culture and feudalism provides insight into the dynamics of power, hierarchy, and daily life during this transformative period in history.
