2. Because Charles Martel the Frankish leader began giving
his soldiers feifs as a reward for their service and loyalty.
3. Because the rulers after Charlemagne were so weak they
couldn’t even rule thei own kingdoms well. And over time they ignored their
responsibilities. Before long they began to depend on the nobles for food,
horses, and soldiers.
4. They had to help the king in battle, had to make payments
to their lord, if the lord was captured in battle his vassals either became
prisoners in his place or paid his
ransom. Another duty was to attend the lord’s court, also were expected to
provide food and entertainment when their lord visited them.
Good answers, but where is the hierarchy of Feudal times.
