Medieval Upheaval Shakes Feudalism Across Europe
In the 14th and 15th centuries feudal ties broke as money payments replaced service and gunpowder diminished fortresses.

Wycliffe and Huss challenged church corruption, with Huss martyred during the Council of Constance. The era emphasized individual moral authority over institutions.
