Feudalism vs Serfdom

Upvote:1

Serfdom and feudalism aren't the same, but they are related.

Feudalism is a system of land grants given by kings to high nobles, subdivided by these nobles to petty nobles, subdivided by petty nobles to large "gentleman" farmers, etc. thereby creating a landed hierarchy.

What makes feudalism work is serfdom, that is, tying peasants to the land on which they were born and work on. If peasants were free to come and go, land would lose much of its value, thereby undermining feudalism.

No, they are not the same. Feudalism describes a kind of relation of lords to kings, Serfdom a relation of the tillers of the land to their lords. Consult a dictionary.
