Why the Feudal Pyramid is a LIE

In this video, we’re tearing down one of the most common lies ever taught about the Middle Ages: that medieval society was a rigid, top-down hierarchy with kings at the top and peasants stuck forever at the bottom. From free urban citizens in medieval London to the ministeriales of the Holy Roman Empire, and from peasant revolts to legal paths to freedom, the truth is way more complex—and way more interesting—than the pyramid you saw in school. We’ll break down three of the biggest myths about feudalism: That the feudal structure was simple and universal That all peasants were basically slaves That feudalism was the same across all of Europe You’ll learn why serfs weren’t slaves, why “social mobility” wasn’t just a modern idea, and how feudalism looked completely different depending on where and when you lived. If you’ve ever asked: • “Was feudalism really that bad?” • “Did peasants have rights?” • “Was there actually a strict feudal hierarchy?” This video is for you.
