Detailed explanation-1: -Feudalism, in its various forms, usually emerged as a result of the decentralization of an empire, especially in the Carolingian empires, which lacked the bureaucratic infrastructure necessary to support cavalry without the ability to allocate land to these mounted troops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Feudalism began as the manorial system in the last century of the Roman Empire. After the fall of the empire in 476 CE, it became more common among the smaller local kingdoms that developed. Feudalism became a powerful political structure by 800 CE as Charlemagne consolidated power in the Holy Roman Empire.
