Etymology

The term 'feudalise' originates from the word 'feudal', which refers to the social system that dominated medieval Europe. Feudalism was characterized by a hierarchical system of land ownership and obligations between lords and vassals. The process of feudalisation involved the establishment of this system in a particular region or society, often under the authority of a monarch or ruler. The concept of feudalism has been a subject of historical study and debate, reflecting the complex nature of medieval society.
