In the textbooks on your desk, find the words “feudalism” and “chivalry”

2. Experiencing Feudalism
Goal: have a working understanding of feudalism
Serfs have to harvest food for knights and owners of the manor things and the knights get to kill them if they don’t do their job
It’s kinda like the serfs get to live if they make food
And they die if they don’t.
The king gets respect, loyalty, money and power
Lords own the servants! They get the land! Don’t they get somewhat fair amount of food?
Knights get power to kill, food
Serfs get the right to live on the land, get protection
What was life like in a feudal society?
Serfs: Hard  Painful, rough
Knights: Fun, super hard just watching the people die WHEN I KILLED THEM ALL
Lords: Very fun threatening peasants, Simple
Monarchs: Pretty boring.

3. Experiencing Feudalism
Goal: have a working understanding of feudalism
Kind of ranks, where there’s someone on the top and they all serve the person above them, and the people on the very bottom are easy to replace
The monarch at the top gives land to the lords, the lords pay the knights with food! The knights protect the lords, and the serfs.
Serfs: semi-slaves, do whatever the lords tell them to do, they receive protection from knight and lord, get to live on the land
THEY CANNOT LEAVE
What was life like in a feudal society?
Serfs: Kinda sucked, we just made food.
Knights: I got to stab people! I got to serve and protect!
Lords: I kinda just stood around and waited for people to have the food ready, and I took the food. Had to make sure everyone was productive
Monarchs: Pretty dope, you sit in a comfy chair, don’t get killed that often

Share the answer to your question, and get information answering the questions that you find at your table. MAKE YOUR ANSWERS DETAILED!
We will rotate several times, to answer all questions, then come back to your original tribe.
The fate of your tribe depends on whether or not you have the same accurate information at the end of these journeys.
