Mention the classes in European society under the feudal system. Which new class had developed in the later years of the MiddlAges? 

Answer

The classes were: 
1. Feudal Classes: The king stood at the top. He bestowed lands to a number of lords. These lords distributed lands to lesser lords called barons. The Dukes and Earls were king’s Vassals. They showed allegiance to the king.

In the time of war, the king could demand military help from his Vassals. The feudal lords kept soldiers. They levied taxes.

2. The peasants: The peasants formed the lowest class. Their number was largest in society. The peasants were divided into many classes -freeholders and villeins.


A new class sprang up. It was the middle class. Reasons for its development was the coming of new inventions and development of trade and industries.
