Source Analysis: The Feudal System in Norman England

Source A: Description of the Feudal System

"In Norman England, the King granted land to his most important nobles, known as barons, who in return pledged loyalty and military service. These barons then divided their land among knights, who also owed service to the barons. The peasants, or serfs, worked the land for the knights and barons, providing food and other goods. This system created a hierarchy that helped keep Norman control over England." Provenance: Anonymous chronicler, 1070s, medieval historical account
