1. What was vassalage? (Bring examples from the primary sources that you could quote or cite to illustrate your definition)
2. What was the manorial system? (Bring examples from the primary sources that you could quote or cite to illustrate your definition)
3. What were the functions of vassalage and the manorial system – how did each of them work? How did they address the problems and challenges that faced Western Europe following the “fall” of Rome? (This time use both the primary and secondary sources to provide evidence for how you arrived at your evaluation)
4. To what extent did Roman traditions and customs shape the rise of the vassalage and the manorial system? (Using both the primary sources and the textbook, think about passages from both books that might help you to explain what impact the legacy of Rome had on the creation of vassalage and the manorial system)
5. To what extent did the early Christian Church and its teachings shape the rise of the vassalage and the manorial system? (Again using both the primary sources and the textbook, think about passages from both books that might help you to explain what impact Christianity and the Church had on the creation of vassalage and the manorial system)
6. To what extent did the traditions and customs of the barbarian tribes that settled Europe after the “fall” of Rome shape the rise of the vassalage and the manorial system? (Using both the primary sources and the textbook, think about passages from both books that might help you to explain what impact the culture, customs, and organization of the “Barbarian” tribes that settled Europe had on the creation of vassalage and the manorial system)
