How Feudalism intensified slavery

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 presented a system that would form the country's social and political landscape for centuries.

feudalism was based upon land circulation in exchange for military service and commitment. It created a hierarchical structure where the King granted land to his most relied on nobles, who provided parcels to knights and vassals. The peasants worked the land in exchange for security at the base of this system. This system of mutual obligations made sure that power and resources were focused in the hands of a few. At the same time, the majority of the population remained bound to the land and their lords.

Gradually, this stiff social order became deeply entrenched in British society, influencing whatever from governance to every day life.
