In the Middle Ages, the land was divided by the kings among their vassals. At the lowest level, it was divided into manors, which were large farms where peasant families lived. The land of the manors was divided by the lord or by his steward into land reserved for the lord and land to be used by the peasants or serfs. The lord's land included fields where crops were grown for the lord's household, forest, and other park land.
The serfs' land was further subdivided into fields held in common and fields reserved for the use of individual serf families. The job of doing this was usually done by a reeve, who was appointed from among the serfs, either by the lord or through election by the serfs themselves. The fields held in common included fallow land, which was usually used for grazing, and crop land where specific crops were raised for common use. The land for the individual serf families was divided into vegetable gardens, pens, and so on.
