Detailed explanation-1: -The characteristic of a feudal society was a “rigid class system”. A feudal society’s division followed a pyramidal design. This was mostly an agrarian society. The ‘King’ was at the pinnacle of society, but he was helpless.
Detailed explanation-2: -Three primary elements characterized feudalism: Lords, vassals, and fiefs; the structure of feudalism can be seen in how these three elements fit together. A lord was a noble who owned land, a vassal was a person who was granted possession of the land by the lord, and the land was known as a fief.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the rank of king, the hierarchy was the nobles, the knights, the clergy (religious people), the tradesmen and the peasants. One of the most unifying elements of the Middle Ages was the Roman Catholic Church.
