<span>"Voyageur", the French word for traveler, refers to the contracted employees who worked as canoe paddlers, bundle carriers, and general laborers for fur trading firms from the 1690s until the 1850s. This is why voyageurs were also known as "engagés", a loose French expression translated as "employees". The voyageurs, who were under the direction of a clerk (commis), were distinguished from "freemen", in other words, people who trapped and traded furs on their own account without being bound by a contract. Though it is true that the majority of voyageurs were French-Canadian, there were those who were English, German, and Iroquois</span>

How did feudalism provide for the security of the people of medieval Europe?
SpyIntel [72]
Feudalism provided for the security of the people of medieval Europe because each individual landlord protected the people on his land. Europe was divided into separate sections, called fiefs, which were presided over by a landlord who had laborers, or serfs, and knights living on his lands. The knights, who had pledged loyalty to the landlords in exchange for land, would fight in wars and protect the serfs and others on the fief from bandits and other dangers. Feudalism also helped the king retain power, because, so long as the majority of the landlords supported him, he could easily put down any rebellions.
