How were medieval knights, kings, monks, and peasants connected?

So, what did the feudal society, the backbone of the Middle Ages that gradually emerged from the late 9th century, look like?
Was the Middle Ages, from the 10th to 12th centuries, truly a time of turmoil? The Middle Ages are often called the "Dark Ages" because of the corruption of religion, its ugly and filthy imagery.
But this is not the case when we look at the lives of lords and peasants, monks and abbots of this era.
Rather, the order of feudal society is well maintained.
During the greatest reforms of the Church since ancient times, monasteries arose to oppose secularization.
Knights went on expeditions to the battlefield and Jerusalem, and farmers, although burdened by various types of forced labor and taxes, were gradually able to accumulate wealth.
What were women's lives like back then? While women's rights in the Middle Ages were severely limited, it was also a time of gradual, positive changes in the perception of women.


The first book in the medieval trilogy

When talking about the Middle Ages, the keywords that cannot be left out are 'feudalism', 'Christianity', and 'Crusades', and among them, this book covers 'feudalism'.
Because we learn about the feudal system mechanically through textbooks, we understand it as something 'very rigid and boring.'
However, if we check out the real stories of the people who lived at that time, we will be able to better understand the Middle Ages that we are so passionate about now.

This book is an enjoyable read for everyone, from adults who are curious about the Middle Ages to students who need to study medieval history, as it provides an interesting account of the early Middle Ages.
