Feudalism is defined as a Medieval European political, economic and social system from the 9th to 15th century.
The adjective feudal was coined in the 17th century, and the noun feudalism, often used in a political and propaganda context, was not coined until the 19th century, from the French fÃ©odalitÃ© (feudality), itself an 18th-century creation.
