Middle Ages: Feudalism & Towns Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll explore in this quiz

Feudalism and towns shaped medieval Europe in different but connected ways—land, labor, law, trade, and power all intersected. Expect questions that move between the manor, the castle, and the urban marketplace.

Each question comes with 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on careful reading and historical reasoning rather than speed.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen your ability to connect social hierarchy to economic systems, and to track how towns changed politics and daily life. The set is mixed difficulty, so it’s suitable for both review and deeper checking of details.

Distinguishing lords, vassals, serfs, and free peasants by rights and obligations
Identifying how manorialism worked in practice (rents, labor services, dues)
Understanding town charters, guild rules, and the rise of burghers
Linking trade routes, fairs, and coin use to urban growth
Recognizing how Church influence and local law shaped communities

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

A frequent mistake is treating “feudalism” as one uniform system everywhere; terms and obligations varied by region and period. Another is mixing up manorialism (economic life on estates) with feudalism (political/military bonds), so watch what the question is actually asking.

Difficulty and question count options

Difficulty is balanced by mixing foundational concepts with more specific vocabulary and scenario-style prompts, so you’ll see both straightforward definitions and applied questions.
