The idea of property was not the same as it is under capitalism or nationalism now. The feudal lords (doesn’t have to be a king - in the case of the holy roman empire for example.) have the title to the land, but it can be owned, sold or inherited down the lines by the people who hold it.










I just pointed out that it was more complicated than King + Church at the top and everyone else down the line. I wanted to be neutral here.
