Best Answer: In a time when there was no easy way of communication there was really no efficient, sensible political order that could be established. Feudalism was really the simplest way to make sure everything ran smoothly-even though many people were subjugated under it. Once the Lords realized what a good life they led it eventually spawned a long lasting tradition of Feudalism which was hard to dispel. In essence, Feudalism is important because it set us up for our way of living today. It was government-and it set up the monarchy system. Any type of goverment-especially the first types are important to understanding how we came to be organized today. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism.
