- Understanding the feudal system of the Middle Ages.
In this lesson, you will need to write a first-person account from the point of view of a monarch, noble, knight, or peasant. In your account, you should describe your responsibilities to other members of the feudal system and any restrictions they may face. You will also explain whether you are a vassal, a lord, or perhaps both. Finally, you should provide some details about what daily life might have been like for you during that period. Provide appropriate resources about life in the Middle Ages. The following Web sites may also be helpful:
