In the feudal arrangement, in which order did land pass down through society?
From king to great lords, then to lesser lords and knights, whose land was worked by peasants✓Correct answer
From the peasants upwards to the knights, then to the great lords, and finally to the king at the very top
From great lords to the king, then to peasants, and finally to knights
From the Church to the king, and then straight to the peasants
Explanation
Grants ran downwards from the ruler, each level passing on part of what it held in return for service from the level below, and the people who actually turned the soil stood at the bottom of that chain without granting anything to anyone. The inverted version is the standard error, because peasants had no land of their own to grant and received their holdings from a lord instead.
