What to Focus On
- The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD.
- The Eastern Roman Empire continued as the Byzantine Empire.
- Constantine founded Constantinople in 330 AD.
- Feudalism was hierarchical and graded.
- The king was at the top, followed by higher and lower lords.
- Lords and vassals had a personal bond.
- The manor was a self-sufficient estate.
- The manor had three main parts: lord's land, peasants' arable land, and meadowland.
- Demesne was the land managed directly by the lord.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The Western Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire fell at the same time.
Feudalism simply means kings ruled everything through a strong central government.
A vassal was the same as a serf.
