Feudalism

Feudalism is a form of government established in The Pelican Island in the year 05 during the civil war. Small communities would form around the regional Lord. The Lord owned the land and everything in it, and he would keep the peasants safe in return for their service. The Lord, in return, would provide the king with soldiers or taxes. This last part wasn't applied in The Pelican Island, since they were against monarchies. This system is known as the feudal system.

Knights
They had to protect the Baron and his family. The Knights kept as much of the land as they wished for their own personal use and distributed the rest to villeins (serfs). Although not as rich as the Barons, Knights were quite wealthy.

Villeins
Villeins, sometimes known as serfs, were given land by Knights. They had to provide the Knight with free labour, food and service whenever it was demanded. Villeins had no rights. They were poor.
