Medieval feudalism was essentially a means of paying retainers in land, rather than money. With the collapse of the Roman Empire and the disappearance of coinage, the only medium of exchange left was land and its produce. Thus, the barbarian German rulers of France sought some means of retaining able-bodied soldiery and companions at court.
What evolved was a process of infeudiation - essentially an exchange of land for military service. The entire concept of vassalage, liege lord, and knighthood came about in France in the early Middle Ages, though many of its more advanced forms did not evolve until much later.
This is an important book for any history buff who has the least interest in the Middle Ages.

This short book is excellent for someone wanting to learn the fundamental, institutional mechanics that governed the Feudal age.
Good general outline

What disappointed you about Medieval Feudalism?
the language was very academic and the narration was hard to pick up on words you didn't know. Vassal, Fife sounded like vessel and thief. The latter chapters were a little better once I went and did some research on feudalism and was able to follow along a little better.Would you ever listen to anything by Carl Stephenson again?
probably notWhat didn’t you like about Charlton Griffin’s performance?
the reading was dryWhat character would you cut from Medieval Feudalism?
there were no charactersAny additional comments?
skip this one unless you really know what you are getting into, and if that's the case you should probably just read the book.Not an introduction to feudalism
