The manor house was the house for the lord of the manor. Usually the lord lived in a manor house, but lords often had more than one manor, and some lords had many. The result was that sometimes the only people who lived in the manor house were the household servants. If the lord was not living in the manor house, it was usually kept ready for him to stay in if he showed up.
There were many cases of manors being rented out, and in such a case, the person who rented it lived in the manor house. This normally happened only if the lord of the manor was short of money.

MaxineA lord of the manor is the person who is in-charge of the manor. The manor is basically the plot of land which the king gives the lord in return for his loyalty. The lord and his lady run the manor and live in a castle on the manor. The manor also holds serfs, knights, priests, and bishops, though. This is because many manors in the medieval ages could hold up to 2,000 people!
