Did Medieval Europe have a central government?

In: Middle Ages [Edit categories]

Answer:

The political scene in Medieval Europe was most characterized by the Feudal system. The Feudal system involves a very loose collection of lords and vassals who control their own plots of land and laborers, but pledge their loyalty to a single king. By nature, the feudal system is very decentralized as the day-to-day decisions were made by the individual lords and vassals over their individual areas of land, and were not decided by a king holding central authority.
