Answer 2

The manorial system was used for managing an estate owned by a lord and farmed by serfs.

The serfs did the labor, and they also managed how the land would be farmed to a great extent. They gave the lord a part of the crop or money from sale of a part of the crop for rent, though if the land was farmed by freemen, there was a lease and fixed rent. The serfs were bound to the land, and were not allowed to leave it unless the lord agreed. They were not slaves, and they had rights to the land, to live on it and to work it. They also had a right to protection from the lord.

For his part, the lord had to respect the serfs' rights to live on and work the land. He also was responsible for the serfs' protection. At the start of the Middle Ages, the lord could not sell the land, but the time came fairly quickly when a manor could be sold. Nevertheless, the serfs could not be removed from the land because they had rights to it, and the new owner had to respect the serfs' rights. At least that was the theory.

Originally, the lord got his land from a higher lord or from the monarch, and this also was an exchange. The lord provided military support and an oath of loyalty in exchange for the land. When the time came that a manor could be bought or sold, the obligations to the monarch were part of that deal.

Answer 3

Manorialism was an economic and sociological system in which the majority of the people, serfs who farmed, lived on a manor, a large estate owned by a lord. It might be said that the manorial system was defined by the relationship the serfs had to their lords, and more particularly, to the land they lived on.

Serfs were people who had specific and important rights and duties. Their duties were to farm the land and to pay their landlords rent, in labor, a part of the crop, or money. They were not allowed to move off the manor without permission of the lord. In return for their work, the serfs were guaranteed a place to live, fields to farm, and protection against crime, war, and famine.

The lord owned the land, but he did not own the serfs. The serfs' right to the land was views as inalienable, and the lord could not take it away. If the land was sold, the serfs went with it, and the new lord was expected to respect their rights to work and live there.

The manor was as self sufficient as possible. There were often craftsmen living on a manor, perhaps a blacksmith, for example. Manors usually had one or more hamlets on them, and possible a village. If there was a village, it had a church. The manor might have a mill, and possibly there was a baker. If no baker, then there might be an oven the serfs could rent to bake bread.

The manorial system was an essential, basic, part of European life in the Middle Ages. It was derived from the very similar Roman villa, and the serfs were very much like the Roman coloni, who lived on villas.

Manorialism is a system of vesting property in a lord of the manor, who had jurisdiction over subject peasants. The system was based on mutual obligation and benefit. The king or some other high lord gave the use and benefit of the manor to the lord of the manor in exchange for military and political support.
