Catholic bishops were involved in crowning kings and emperors (who were at the top of the feudal system).In Germany, 3 out of 7 sovereigns who had the right to elect a new emperor were archbishops.
The catholic church also rented land as fiefdoms to to lower peasants, just like the aristocrats did. 
Due to some historians,the chuch was the biggest liege in the high middle ages (25 - 50% of all fiefdoms being owned by the church). 
Furthermore,the church gave a legitimation to the feudal system 
by declaring that every man should work in the place where he was put (by god) and that the peasants should work, the clergy pray and the sovereigns protect.Since the feudal system is based on the idea of a sovereign protecting weaker ones and receiving tributes in return, this idea matched the idea of feudalism.

How did the Black Death travel to Europe and then continue to spread throughout the continent?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bubonic Plague, also is known as the Black Death, originated from Asia, most likely China, India, and Persia. In October of 1347. it arrived in Italy with trading ships from Asia; their goods were very prized at the time, and the trade was greatly developed with these countries across all European countries.

The black death quickly continued to spread around Europe. The quick and easy spreading happened partly because of the trade, but more importantly because of the rats. It has been proven that rats and fleas can carry the disease, and many people got it from the bites of these creatures. The hygiene wasn’t developed at the time as it is today, and pests were everywhere on the ships and in the streets. Because it was a highly infectious disease, it quickly spread over the whole continent of Europe, resulting in million deaths.
