Detailed explanation-1: -The feudal system was based on a kind of protection system (or even protection racket). A lord accepted pledges of loyalty, called a pledge of fealty, from other free men called his vassals; in return for their support in war he offered them protection and land-grants called fiefs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The church, too, became part of the feudal system. By the 900s the church owned vast amounts of land, some of which it granted as fiefs to nobles in return for military protection.
Detailed explanation-3: -The King. At the very top of the feudal system was the king. He presided over the land he ruled, directing and controlling what happened in his kingdom.
Detailed explanation-4: -The headquarters of the Western Church was Rome. For most of the medieval period, this was the chief residence of the Pope, who was regarded as the successor of St Peter.
