Question

Which of the following were not the consequences of the formation of new businesses in feudal Europe?

• A. The businessmen got rich and broke off from their feudal agreements.
• B. Disparity between feudal lords and their rich vassals.
• C. Feudal lords competed with their kings.
• D. Disparity between the different European kings.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Disparity between the different European kings.

The formation of new businesses created more problems. Those businessmen who got rich became part of the ruling class and broke off feudal agreements with their feudal lords. This created differences between the feudal lords and the rich vassals. There were also cases of feudal lords competing with their kings. These ‘traitors’ became a threat to the regional unity.
