If you think of the system in three levels. The first level is the Church, the second is the nobility, and the final level is the peasant. The Church ruled the society and taught that man was born in sin and the only way to save their souls was to go through the church. They were the middle man between man and God.

How did the Hundred Years' War weaken the feudal system in France and Europe?
The Hundred Years War weakened the feudal system because of the high number of deaths. The scarcity of people made labor much more in demand, and it was no longer beneficial for peasants to work for a manor Lord, or for knights to commit to one. Power went to the monarchs.
What exactly is a feudal system?
The 'feudal system' is a political, economic and social system that was in place throughout much of medieval Europe. It includes factors like; Serfdom, cottage industry agriculture (small plots of land worked on by the poor/serfs), barons/local leaders who had a hereditary right to land they technically owned and the system of having a monarch (sometimes constitutional) to govern the country as a whole. Hope this helped.

What are the effects of Feudalism?
Feudalism was a system that provided a distribution of power from the king down to the lowest levels of society, what was called the feudal pyramid. This worked fairly well to provide security for the farmers and feudal lords, but it was difficult for larger nations to unify. Eventually, large nations developed strong central governments, and feudalism ceased to have a reason to exist. Even for the local lords, it was much easier to free the serfs and charge rent.
