Well I understand the historians don’t have one unified definition but despite reading and looking it up the Web I still feel like I don’t get it. So that’s why I’m asking for a more “simplified” explanation.
Also if it isn’t a problem….is there a modern version of feudalism?

God gave man ice cream. Mom and dad are the rulers of the house which contains the ice cream and many other rewards and duties. When they’re home, you’ll have to do as they say and eat what they give you.
When they’re out, or when you’re at school, you have to listen to big sister. She may even let you have some ice cream if you’re good and listen well.
If neither mom or dad were home. And your big sister is also gone or distracted, you could eat as much ice cream as you wanted.
You could live in total freedom, eat all the snacks, and let the dirty dishes fill the sink, but then how would you get more ice cream and what will you use to eat it with when the cupboard and drawers are empty?
Your big sister listens to your parents so that the house can keep eating more ice cream. That’s why you need to listen to big sis, mom, and dad, so we can all have a nice place to eat ice cream.
The king and queen can only reach their power so far, so to rule at a distance she must have underlings who have more power than a child or an adolescent, but not as much say as an adult, so they must listen to what they’re told to do.
The lord’s need to be ready to helpthe king win his wars when called to do so. They cannot eat all the ice cream. Some has to be left for when dad gets home or we may all lose the castles we love. Probably to the Mongolian hordes.
However, when the king is gone, you are free to fight each other for control of snacks and doing the chores. Cooperate or fight, so long as the house is clean and there are good soldiers to fight (ben and jerry’s in the freezer) when the king calls for it.
