Many societies have been divided, but the Normans were the first to enforce the feudal system rigidly. 

Without the Romans' protection that had lasted for 400 years, medieval Europe was violent and dangerous. Why do you think this gave rise to feudalism?

Research feudalism so that you have an understanding of the mutual obligation, (who provided what to whom). Draw a picture if it will help you remember the feudal structure.
Ensure that you put all the feudal terms into your crossword.
