Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Although feudalism first gained focus during the Carolingian Dynasty (Charlemagne was part of it), its roots date back to the 5th Century, after the Fall of Rome, a time of chaos and violence when tribes began fighting for power. The leaders and the most wealthy people started to develop a manorial system in which workers agreed to work and live in a landowner's large estates, and, in exchange, that landowner gave them protection.

This is technically false, because feudalism existed in various regions before the existence of Charlemagne. In general, feudalism existed after an empire crumbled.
