Land is the only money that knights get to keep as a vassals in the medieval eras.The more land the lord had the more knights he had so he was protected and could be making more money.The oldest son could inherit the lords' land. The younger sons usually hungered for land so they could have a place to live.The lord could also seize land from other countries by conquering them.

Medieval Banking AMAZING!!!! :)

The banks were called banco which means credit negotiated. They have practiced banking for many years until the middle ages.The early medieval bankers also accepted deposits. They bankers also took over time money as an exchange or for sales.Taxation developed in the 13th century. The banking was very important in the medieval eras because that helped put together our banks today. The way that the banking has evolved is so amazing. if we didn't have this system today we wouldn't have any where to contain our money. the medieval eras are so important.
