Imagine that you work for a time travel agency. You need to develop a six-sided
brochure explaining feudalism and the manorial system to travelers who wish to visit medieval
Europe. Your brochure should include the following: definitions of terms such as vassal, fief,
peasant, feudalism and lord; information about the lives of each type of individual in the
feudalism system (king, knight, noble, and peasant/serf) Include illustrations and/or diagrams to
help clarify the system of feudalism—a graphic representation of the feudal hierarchy is
required. Remember that the purpose of their brochure is to prepare travelers to exist within the
political system they will encounter during their expedition. Due Monday, March 1st. 50 points
