Worked on folder assignment:
There will be a Middle Ages quiz on Tuesday.

Using the provided materials create your own personal “fief”.




Be sure to include all things needed for your modern day fief to be self-sufficient. **If you choose to re-create a medieval fief, you must create a feudal system that is different than the model that was used during the Middle Ages. Your written response should illustrate the ways in which your model is better than the traditional model.



Please create a legend to identify all buildings and locations on your drawing. You must also write a response on the back of your page describing the elements of your fief, and how it would be organized/run.



You must also include a “feudal pyramid/hierarchy” which details who grants land (and what they receive in return) etc.
