On the other hand, feudalism is the bond of loyalty between a lord and vassal, and most of the time, vassals were loyal. The difference between the two is that themanorial system was not based on loyalty, but based onpower because since the lords were more powerful andhigher class, they had the power to be in charge of theserfs and other peasants that lived in their manors (Pg.336 of Medieval and Early Modern Times Textbook)
