Here is a video made by my castle group and I about the Feudal System
The Feudal System was developed because of the Vikings and the Fall of Rome. I think the Feudal System is a good system. One reason is that I provides shelter and protection for the serfs, so they are not left stranded somewhere. Another reason is that the Lord gets more people that worship him, so that nobody goes into complete chaos saying that the Lord is not a good Lord. Also, the vassals get fiefs, small potions of land, from the lord to protect him from invaders. This was some information on the Feudal System.
Below is my Castle Group's Code of Chivalry. Knights had to follow the Code of Chivalry because you had to follow the rules or you will not be a knight.
This is an image of a knight. Here is a poem about knights by Shari Knight-Meyr: They told me that you would be easily replaced
That I'd fall for another handsome knight's face
They said your departure was not so tragic
And that your performance was not really magic
They promised that I would be very impressed
And would quickly forget my loss and distress
When I would set eyes on the promising new knights
I'd stake claim on my favorite to ride and fight
Alas, I tried to leave thoughts of you behind
And view the newcomers with an open mind
Whom would I choose, the red knight or blue?
Somehow neither could hold a candle to you
There is still an emptiness only you can fill
And if need be, wait for you I will
A substitute knight can never take your place
I'll hold on to the memories of your knightly face
That I'd fall for another handsome knight's face
They said your departure was not so tragic
And that your performance was not really magic
They promised that I would be very impressed
And would quickly forget my loss and distress
When I would set eyes on the promising new knights
I'd stake claim on my favorite to ride and fight
Alas, I tried to leave thoughts of you behind
And view the newcomers with an open mind
Whom would I choose, the red knight or blue?
Somehow neither could hold a candle to you
There is still an emptiness only you can fill
And if need be, wait for you I will
A substitute knight can never take your place
I'll hold on to the memories of your knightly face
I picked this poem because I liked how the Substitute Knight was nervous, but then someone helped him be not so nervous anymore.

This is an image of a Hierarchy. A hierarchy is a system in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authority. An example of a modern day hierarchy is in our United States Government. The president is at the top and it keeps on going down from rank to rank.
