Feudal society

In *Feudal Society*, Marc Bloch analyzes the medieval world, particularly the development of feudalism from the late ninth century to the emergence of national monarchies in the fourteenth century.

The book is divided into two volumes, each examining different aspects of feudal society: the first focusing on the personal bonds between lords and vassals, and the second on the relations based on land and social class.

Bloch discusses various aspects of feudalism, including religion, economy, kinship, and the judiciary, and how these elements shaped medieval society.

He also explores the evolution of chivalry and the nobility within the feudal hierarchy and their interactions with the rising power of monarchies.
