In France in the 18th century, this was one of the major factors which led to the French Revolution.
AFTER THE COLLAPSE of the Roman Empire, the outstanding feature of Europe was the feudal system. Thenceforward until the late Middle Ages, land paid virtually all the costs of government in England, and indeed throughout most of Europe. The following account focuses primarily on England as a particular case of a system that obtained quite generally, although, of course, details varied from country to country and also within countries. The land in use was overwhelmingly agricultural. Europe took refuge in a feudal system in the face of increasing barbarian invasion. In England, following the Norman Conquest in the eleventh century, the continental feudal system was super-imposed on the existing Saxon tenure of land, which had already developed some of its characteristics.

Where in Europe did feudalism take place?
If we take the widest view of the definition of feudalism, then we could say it was pretty much general for Western Europe for most of the Middle Ages after the seventh century or so. If we take the narrow view, that feudalism was a hierarchical system designed to provide quick action in large countries where a weak central government could not respond quickly, then feudalism existed in France and the Holy Roman Empire after the division of the Carolingian Empire, and in England briefly after the Norman Conquest.
