	Feudal, feudalism or the feudal sytem relates to a society organised largely by the control of land and land-use according to a set social levels, classes or ranks. It was the primary social system of western Europe during the Middle Ages and continues to be one of the systems of land management in countries such as England, through certain leasehold tenure mechanisms and ownership under the crown. Although effectively a simple pyramid system it was relatively complex in its various mechanisms, with a variety of defined feudal duties.

		+	= Early History =

	Feudal, derives from the Medieval Latin feudalis or feudum, meaning pertaining to feuds, which were estates of land granted for use by a superior (person or body) on the condition of services to be rendered the grantor, in the Middle ages these being food, work or even support in battle. It was William the Conqueror in the 1100's who introduced a new feudal system when he stripped his opponents of ther land and declared himself to be the sole allodial owner of his realm. Allodial meaning the freeholder, or the most superior holder of land where there are no further higher ranks, lords or holders. As such all common exchanges and sales of land were restricted and all landholding was only possible with a Lord, who had to then be in receipt of a service in exchange for use of the land. in the 1200's it was established that tenure could be passed from one generation or nominee to the next, with a feudal relief tax.

	Feudal contracts could then (as well as theoretically now) only be signed by members of the upper classes, this may have mean that lower Lords received land or estates (fief) from higher Lords on a promise of certain specified services (feudal duties) in return, in the same way the lowest tenant would service the level above them. Examples of feudal duties included; fees paid to a lord, on a tennants marriage (Amober), concession of a fief to younger sons (Appanage), tenure in return for a specified duties (Serjeanty), provision of guards and so on. Many feudal duties involved payments to the Lords such as chiefage, feudal aid, taille, tallage and socage.

	In 1660 the Tenures Abolition Act declared that all land was to be held by socage tenure, which ended the obligations relating to other service based feudal duties of tenure. Socage was tenure in return for a specified duty which was usually money and is what eventually became the basis of what we now know to as freehold tenure, referred to then as 'free and common socage'. In this system not only was land held in exchange for clearly defined, fixed regular payments but the lord was also obligated to provide certain services, such as protection.

Feudal, feudalism or the feudal sytem relates to a society organised largely by land which controlled according to set social levels or ranks. It was the primary social system of western Europe during the Middle Ages and continues to be one of the systems of land management in countries such as the UK through leasehold tenure mechanisms.

It derives from the Medieval Latin feudalis or feudum, meaning pertaining to feuds which were estates of land granted for use by a superior (person or body) on the condition of services to be rendered the grantor, in the Middle ages these being food, work or even support in battle, in modern society usually financial exchange.
