the feudal system is when lords, kings, or conquerors gave land to their vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. the manor system was how the lord, king, or conqueror wanted to see his lands fit and organized the places in the lands such as his house, the village, the farmlands, the meadows, etc. the catholic church served as a new role of power into the lands giving new rules and new beliefs to the people that lived on the land.
