MaxineBasically a floor with a crawlspace underneath. The crawlspace is connected to thin chimneys, flues in the walls, and then at one end there's a fire place. When a fire is lit, the warm smoke spreads under the floor before escaping through the chimneys, warming the floor and the room.

How did ancient Rome heated baths?
The Roman baths were a cultural custom and their presence evolved over a period of time. It is not known when the baths were developed nor who "invented" them. When we read about the Roman baths, even the very early ones, they are already developed into the form (hot, warm, and cold rooms) with which we are familiar.
Who invented central heating?
The Romans first used central heat, a system called Hypocaust. A furnace located below the living space maintained by slaves was used to heat cavities between walls to radiate heat into the room.
How did they get hot water in roman baths?
The water was heated in a furnace type machine under the floor and then pumped all around the bath house through a series of lead pipes. The steam this water gave off was also used to heat the sauna and the stone floors.
Does the feudal system work?
yes it does and it did for many years during the middle ages. some thought manorialism worked even better, but the feudal system was very affective.
How did manorialism help both nobles and peasants?
The nobles told the peasants what to do, gained all the income off their work, and taxed them for everything.
