Captions available
The idea
Post-Roman Europe fused Roman, Christian and Germanic traditions. Feudalism bound lesser lords to greater by land for service; manorialism put serfs' farming under a lord; chivalry Christianized knightly violence. Cluniac reform limited aristocrats in church matters, and popes challenged kings.
In practice
The Great Schism of ten fifty-four dividing east and west.
Where people slip
The anchor calls feudal institutions crude but effective.
