How were law and order maintained in medieval Europe?

Feudalism, a system to maintain power to rule, it was also a good way to serve local justice to local people which included peasants, carpenters, blacksmiths, weavers, bakers, and merchants and dealers. Under the feudal system, kings offered power to barons to control large pieces of land in their kingdom. Thus, the right to jurisdiction. Hope this helped. :)

Medieval Europe maintained law and order through feudalism, where kings, lords, and knights created a hierarchy of responsibilities and protection in exchange for loyalty and service. Serfs worked the land in return for safety, while local knights enforced laws and resolved disputes often based on traditional customs. The Catholic Church also played a key role in promoting order through moral authority and ecclesiastical courts.
