A medieval baron had an estate called a barony, but it usually consisted of manors that were scattered through the country, and were not together. The baron could choose to live at any of the manors, and often barons would move from one to another fairly often so they could keep track of their estates personally.

Most medieval nobles lived in manor houses, and most manor houses were just large, well built houses we might call mansions. Some nobles lived in fortified manor houses, which were built rather like castles, to the modern eye. Barons, who were at a higher rank than most other nobles, were likely to own castles of their own. Those who did own castles were likely not to wish to live in them, because castles were not always built to provide comfortable living space.

Did a lord of a medieval manor live in a manor house?

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.

Why did people in the Middle Ages form small communities around a central lord?

During the Middle Ages, people formed small communities around a central lord primarily for protection and security. In a time marked by frequent invasions and instability, the lord provided safety in exchange for loyalty and service. Additionally, the feudal system required peasants to work the land in return for protection and the right to live on and farm the lord's estate. This arrangement fostered a sense of mutual dependency and stability within the community.
