Today was Thursday, our long mod. We went over a feudalism power point. It was pretty interesting. Especially the iron plow. We talked about the classes and we talked about serfs. I found the relationship between a knight and a lord interesting. A knight pledged their allegiance to a lord, serving him until he died or retired. The knight's land would then go to his son or in some special cases, daughters. We talked about the peasantry who were the common people such as serfs and farmer. They didn't have very great lives but they were at least a step up from slaves.
