-Fun fact: Feudalism (somehow) lingered on until about a decade ago on the channel island of Sark.

That being said, aside from the dubious principle, 21st century feudalism on Sark had little in common with its medieval cousin.

Which makes sense given that it started with the settlement of the island by Helier de Carteret in 1565, well after feudalism in England was on the way out.
