Middle Ages:
Back in the middle ages. Under the feudal system, introduced
by the Normans society was like a pyramid. At the top of the pyramid was the
king. Below him were the barons or tenants-in-chief. The king granted
them land and in return they had to provide so many soldiers to fight for
so many days a year. They also had to swear an oath of loyalty to the
king and they became his vassals.

The barons granted land to knights. In return they had to fight for so
many days a year. However this system proved awkward. If a knight had to
fight, say, 40 days a year when the 40 days were up he would return
home even if the king were in the middle of a campaign. Kings began
to allow the barons to pay 'shield money'.
They used the money to pay soldiers when they needed them.

At the bottom of society were peasants. Most were serfs or villeins.
They were not free and could not leave their land without the lord's
permission. Furthermore, as well as working on their own land they
had to farm the lord's land for 2 or 3 days a week. They also had to
work extra days for him at busy times like harvest.
Although in time more and more lords allowed them to pay
money rents instead of doing labour service.

Villeins also had other burdens. For instance when
a villein died his son had to give the lord the best
animal before taking over his father's land. Usually
peasants had to grind their grain to flour in the lord's
mill and give him a portion of their grain . In some places
they also had to bake their bread in the lord's oven. However if you could
escape from your village to a town for a year and a day you then officially
became free. Moreover the Black Death severely weakened the villeinage
system. At the time of the Domesday Book the population of England was
around 2 million. By the end of the 13th century it had probably risen to about 6 million.

However in the early 14th century the climate of the world cooled and there
were a series of famines. The population began to fall. The Black
Death of 1348-49 killed about one third of the population of England.
So many people died there was a serious shortage of labour and lords
were willing to 'poach' workers from other lords by offering them higher
wages. Parliament tried to fix wages by law to prevent them rising but this
was impossible to enforce. By the 15th century the system of serfdom or
villeinage had broken down in England.

In the Middle Ages the king ruled by divine right. In other words people believed that God had chosen him to be king and rebelling against him was a sin. However that did not stop rebellions! Kings had limited power in the Middle Ages and rebellions were easy. A great deal depended on the personality of the king. If he was a strong character he could control the barons. If he were weak or indecisive the barons would often rebel. Warrior kings who fought successful wars were the most powerful as they were popular with the nobility.
We see this in Dragon Heart of their clothes and houses , and how the king can be really powerful (King Einon) The villages houses look the same as the Film, the house in the film is the same as it was in the middle ages. The village looks the same as it did in the 10th Century.
