The manor was a farming estate provided by a monarch or high lord to a lesser noble, such as a knight, in exchange for military and political support. The knight used the manor to provide for his horses and to get an income, which also provided for his armor, a benefit to the monarch. The income of the lord of the manor came at least partly from the work of peasants, who raised food, but the manor could also provide for other things, such as a mill, pottery, blacksmith, and so on. The peasants who lived on the manor worked part time for the lord in exchange for fields to use for themselves, a place to live, and protection in times of trouble.
The manor was pretty much self sufficient. Its purpose in the times it was developed, was to provide a military force for the monarch at a time when there were few resources to keep a standing army and when a standing army could not answer the immediate needs of such short-term local problems as a Viking raid.
Medieval Europe was ruled by kings and aristocratic families.
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.
the answer to this is simple. FEUDALISM. it is the word that defines medieval Europe as a whole and takes the meaning of feud to the next level. if you get this as an essay question just put that word. just that word. your history teacher will love it and give you and A-- it worked for me! haha... but really.

The nobles told the peasants what to do, gained all the income off their work, and taxed them for everything.
Manorialism was a system of land ownership and organization in medieval Europe where lords granted land to vassals in exchange for loyalty and service.
Manorialism is a system of social relations between seigneurs or lords and their dependent farm laborers, serfs, in the Middle Ages. Manorialism is also known as the Manorial System. The political, economic, and social system is what the peasants of medieval Europe were made dependent on their land derived from the word "manor".
Both feudalism and manorialism were social systems that structured medieval society. Feudalism involved the exchange of land for military service, creating a hierarchical system of lords and vassals. Manorialism was an economic system based on self-sufficient manors where peasants worked the land in exchange for protection and a share of the harvest.

Manorialism in Europe was a system where peasants lived on a lord's estate, known as a manor, and worked the land in exchange for protection and a share of the crops. The lord would provide the peasants with land, housing, and some resources, while the peasants would work the land and pay rent or provide services to the lord. This system created a hierarchy of social classes and allowed for a stable agricultural economy during the medieval period.
