The feudal system was a simple way of helping the king earn money, protection and food, when the king would give the barons a large piece of land if they would train knights for him. Then the baron would promise the knights a smaller piece of land to fight for him. Then the knights would get villeins to farm for them for an even smaller piece of land. It helped william get control as it was a very organised way to control the country and the rankings of the King, Barons, Knights and villeins are clearly stated.
The feudal system was William's way of splitting the land between the people of England. The king lent land to his barons in return for rent money and loyalty. The barons had massive amounts of land to keep so they lent some to the knights in return for rent and soldiers. Now the knights had large amounts of land so they lent some to the villains (or peasents) in return for rent and soldiers. That way everyone in England was happy until later in Williams rule.
It helped him keep controle. it is usefull i mean, not fair but usefull. imagine if you owned all of england. (not huge but big i know) then you need to leave different people in charrge. then they use the land to rent and gain monny. then they payed there taxes (that the people renting pay to them) to the lord and also provide men for an army when needed.
-pk...

He used it to pacify and control the people.
The Feudal System was necessary so that King William the Conqueror can reward his Norman supporters for their help in the conquest of England. Life lived under the Medieval Feudal System, demanded that everyone owed allegiance to the King and their immediate superior.
The feudal system was meant to help organize things for people.( To help people) how it worked: what happened was that the king was at the top and then the nobles were given land that was split up so they couldn't start a rebellion and the nobles gave their land to lots of knights which gave there land to lots of peasants which farmed the land and paid taxes. the knights fought and the king gave the noble more land so that he was richer more land=richer you are! this kind of system was based on kept promises. if some promises were not kept the entire system fails. Therefore I think that the Feudal System isn't fair especially for the peasants.
He knew who owned which piece of land
To help control large areas of land and people (after the Dark Ages).
Because it meant the king knew who owned what in his country, ie King William Duke of Normandy

The Feudal system, since it killed off most of the peasant workers, leaving the gentry with no one to tend to their land.
Well, when William built castles in England, it helped him establish control by providing strategic strongholds to defend his territory. These castles also served as centers of administration, allowing him to exert his authority over the land. Overall, the castles gave William a sense of security and power, helping him solidify his rule over England.

The benefits of feudal system brought defense and protection to the community. The king gave land to the nobles and arch-bishops and abbots. In return the noble gave taxes, advice and military support. The arch-bishops and abbots gave advice and loyalty in return. The knights gave protection and support to the peasants (serfs) and in return the peasants gave free labour, taxes and loyalty.
