Feudal Pyramid of Power - Visual Guide to Medieval Social Hierarchy #3423509 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts a four-tiered feudal structure: the King at the apex grants land (fiefs) to Nobles in exchange for money and knights; Nobles provide land and protection to Knights (vassals), who in turn offer military service; Knights and Nobles receive food and services from Peasants, who work the land. Arrows show mutual dependencies-land flows downward, while military service, protection, and labor flow upward. The visual uses cartoon figures and labeled arrows to clarify complex socio-political relationships.
