The feudal state resulted in the fragmentation of territories into smaller units where monarchies, counts or members of the Church exercised control.

The feudal state comprised of vassals (feudal tenants) working for the feudal lord in exchange for protection and land.

The feudal state was not a state but rather a political and socio-economic arrangement in parts of Europe.

The feudal state existed in parts of Europe, when territories threatened to decline in oligarchy as a result of revolutionary threats against monarchies.
