The Rise of Feudalism in Britain:
The origins of feudalism in Britain can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of 1066 when William the Conqueror introduced a system that would form the nation's social and political landscape for centuries.

Feudalism was based on land circulation in exchange for military service and loyalty. It developed a hierarchical structure where the King granted land to his most trusted nobles, who provided parcels to knights and vassals. The peasants worked the land in exchange for defense at the base of this system. This system of shared commitments made sure that power and resources were focused in the hands of a few. At the same time, the majority of the population stayed bound to the land and their lords.

Gradually, this rigid social order ended up being deeply entrenched in British society, affecting whatever from governance to life.
