	Feudalism at AllExperts
		A lord was a noble who owned land, a vassal was a person who was granted land by the lord, and the land was known as a fief.
		For Marx, what defined feudalism was that the power of the ruling class (the aristocracy) rested on their control of the farmable lands, leading to a class society based upon the exploitation of the peasants who farm these lands, typically under serfdom.
		As governmental authority declined and rural lawlessness (such as that of the Bagaudae) increased, these farmers were increasingly forced to rely upon the protection of the local landowner, and a nexus of interdependency was created: the landowners depended upon the peasants for labour, and the peasants upon the landowners for protection.

	An Agrarian History of South Asia: Chapter Two -- on medieval agrarian territory
		The medieval states that produced inscriptions had a basic commitment to the expansion of permanent field cultivation as the foundation of their power, and dharma was the moral code that stabilised their territory.
		Land grants to temples and Brahmans are therefore less an indication of traditional Brahman power or peasant subordination than a reflection of alliance-building by aspiring agrarian elites, who used ritual ranking to lift themselves over competitors, and institutionalised their status by patronising gods and Brahmans.
		All this occurred as farm land was expanding and as peasant farmers, nomads, pastoralists, hunters, and forest tribes were slowly changing the substance of their social identity, over many generations, as people became high caste land owners, kings, protectors of dharma, kshatriyas, vaisyas, superior sudras, inferior sudras, untouchables, and aliens beyond the pale.

		These were English and Welch farmers who owned their own land (hence the term "yeomen") and were paid by the king to train in peacetime, and answer his call when he needed to raise an army.
