Arises across europe after the collapse of the roman empire. Monarch- protect the people (to an extent, in order for them to serve you in return) Serfs/ peasants- can"t leave the land, must provide agriculture. Some economic or military obligation are entitled to peasants at time of need, and if they do not comply or conform they would be killed. The social order meant to be family like. As in the whole family of peasants would work one job, the whole family of a lord would simply inherit their father"s goods . Then in total those separate family in different levels in the chain complete the entire nation"s structure.
