The social structure that European society had during the 1400s is now known as feudalism. Feudalism is a system of organization that existed in Medieval Europe (9th-15th centuries).
Under this system, most people were peasants who were bound to a certain territory by the obligations of manoralism. Although these people were considered to be "free," they were not allowed to move, and their private life was severely restricted. Moreover, these people were bound to a lord, who managed the land that the peasants lived in. All of the land of a kingdom belonged to a king. However, he could grant certain areas to lords or other nobles who fought for him. Feudalism was not only an economic system, but a political and social one as well.
