Q1. How did the rise of powerful monarchs in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries affect the feudal system described in the chapter?
पंद्रहवीं और सोलहवीं शताब्दी में शक्तिशाली राजाओं के उदय ने अध्याय में वर्णित सामंती व्यवस्था को किस प्रकार प्रभावित किया?
- A. Standing armies and centralised states reduced the independent power of nobles and the need for feudal levies / स्थायी सेनाओं और केंद्रीकृत राज्यों ने कुलीनों की स्वतंत्र शक्ति और सामंती सैन्य-भर्ती की आवश्यकता को कम कर दिया

- D. Feudalism grew stronger as kings became fully dependent on their vassals for defence / सामंतवाद मजबूत हुआ क्योंकि राजा अपनी रक्षा के लिए पूरी तरह अपने वासलों पर निर्भर हो गए
Solution
As kings built standing armies and centralised their states, they no longer needed to depend on nobles' feudal levies, which weakened feudalism.
जैसे-जैसे राजाओं ने स्थायी सेनाएं बनाईं और अपने राज्यों को केंद्रीकृत किया, उन्हें कुलीनों की सामंती सैन्य-भर्ती पर निर्भर रहने की आवश्यकता नहीं रही, जिससे सामंतवाद कमजोर हो गया।

हेनरी सप्तम ने इंग्लैंड में एक मजबूत, केंद्रीकृत राजतंत्र का निर्माण किया, जबकि लुई इलेवन ने फ्रांस पर, इसाबेला और फर्डिनेंड ने स्पेन पर, और मैक्सिमिलियन ने ऑस्ट्रिया पर शासन किया।
Q3. What was the immediate effect of the Black Death on the labour force, as described in the chapter?
अध्याय में वर्णित अनुसार, ब्लैक डेथ का श्रमशक्ति पर तत्काल प्रभाव क्या था?
