Feudal Society Knights, Castles, and Lords 00:00:00

Hello everyone! 00:00:08

I am Jesus, your teacher bringing you another video about the Middle Ages in Spain. 00:00:10

I am delighted to embark on an enthralling journey with all of you, delving deep into 00:00:15

the captivating world of Feudalism and its origins. 00:00:20

Today, I am going to talk about the Feudal Society. 00:00:23

How did Feudalism begin? 00:00:27

In the Middle Ages, around 1,000 years ago, life was quite different from today. 00:00:31

Feudalism started as a way to bring order and protection to people during uncertain 00:00:39

times. 00:00:42

Imagine a big puzzle with different pieces coming together to form a community. 00:00:44

Social Relations in Feudal Society 00:00:51

Feudal society was like a pyramid, with the king at the top, followed by nobles and knights, 00:00:54

and then the peasants and serfs at the bottom. 00:00:59

The king owned all the land, and he gave parts of it to nobles and knights in exchange for 00:01:03

loyalty and military service. 00:01:07

Knights and their castles. 00:01:11

Knights were brave warriors who rode on horseback and wore shiny armor. 00:01:13

They protected the people and the lands they were given. 00:01:19

They lived in big, strong castles that were like fortresses. 00:01:24

Castles were important for defense, and they even had drawbridges and moats to keep enemies 00:01:28

out. 00:01:33

Life in Feudal Spain 00:01:35

Life in Feudal Spain was challenging. 00:01:38

Most people were peasants or serfs, working on the land owned by the nobles. 00:01:41

They farmed the fields and had to give part of their crops to the nobles as rent. 00:01:47

Serfs were like the farmers' helpers, but they were not free to leave the land they 00:01:54

worked on. 00:01:58

Lords and their responsibilities. 00:02:02

Nobles and lords had many responsibilities. 00:02:04

They had to protect their lands from invaders and help the king in times of war. 00:02:09

They also had to make sure that justice was served in their territories and take care 00:02:15

of their peasants and serfs. 00:02:19

The Decline of Feudalism 00:02:22

As time passed, things started to change. 00:02:24

Trade and commerce grew, and cities became more important. 00:02:28

This led to the rise of a new class of people called merchants and artisans who didn't fit 00:02:32

neatly into the feudal system. 00:02:37

Additionally, powerful kings and queens wanted more control, and they began to weaken the 00:02:39

power of the nobles. 00:02:44

The End of Feudal Society in Spain 00:02:46

In the late Middle Ages, around the 15th century, Spain saw a power shift. 00:02:49

The Catholic monarchs, Isabel and Fernando, united Spain and brought an end to many small 00:02:55

kingdoms. 00:03:00

They also reduced the power of the nobles and strengthened the central government. 00:03:02

With the discovery of the New World, Spain's focus shifted to exploration and colonization 00:03:08

and the traditional feudal system slowly faded away. 00:03:13

And there you have it, young historians! 00:03:17

Feudalism was a fascinating system that helped bring order to medieval Spain, but as the 00:03:21

times changed, so did society. 00:03:25

Remember, history teaches us valuable lessons, so keep exploring and learning about the past. 00:03:28

Thanks for watching, and keep being curious and asking questions! 00:03:35

See you soon! 00:03:40
