10) Which of the following medieval groups were responsible for the rise of Feudalism due to constant raids and plundering?
B) The Vikings.
With Viking raids, the power was decentralized from the regional crown to the community leaders in the area. As the crown was not able to defend the locals properly, Feudalism was used to create a defensive system against the rising threats of the Northern sea-people.
11) Which of the following best describes a Lord in Medieval society?
B) Military Generals who would be paid to guard the land by receiving land as payment.
A Lord did not have to be a military general, however, but they received land to control, and in return, had to generate tax and food for the crown, while raising troops to fill the ranks of the King in times of war.
12) Which of the following describes a Knight in Medieval society?
C) Trained military professionals who would be paid with land and asked to protect it in return.
Knights were essentially professional soldiers, who received payment in money, victuals, shelter, or even land. They were typically mustered as the vanguard and rearguard of the army, and used in the key moments of the war. They typically were armed much more better then the ordinary soldier, which typically included a full-face helmet, plate armour (or at least mail-chain), a complementary shield, sword(s), and a type of spear. If they were pressed into the calvary, they will also be suited with a war horse and armor for the horse as well.
