The teacher takes the role of King William I, students are chosen to be nobles, knights and peasants and given the relevant envelopes. the king does a deal with some nobles in return for land, the nobles then do a deal with knights who then deal with peasants to introduce the feudal system to students. This is followed up by comprehension tasks and some evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses.
A noble’s envelope contains a loyalty oath, money and an IOU an army card
A knight’s envelope contains a loyalty oath, money and a fighting card
A peasant’s envelope contains a loyalty oath and promise to farm
I usually create paper crowns for king, noble and knights to wear [in decreasing sizes!] I also make students get down on their knees when reading their oath of loyalty and play on the idea of peasants being smelly etc! This really engages students and helps them to remember the feudal system really well.
