Q

Royal Status

A
Kings held the most power, and they granted land to Barons in exchange for soldiers.
-Barons allowed Knights to own land if they swore an oath of loyalty and devotion to serve in battle, if ever one arose. 
 - Knights then gave the serfs some pasture for farming, but they expected gifts in return.
 With this method, every class in the Medieval era fulfilled their basic needs.
