Many medieval peasants starved. However, during the medieval era the church served as a large social organization. It would have tried to feed the starving masses and move them to a different area where there was food and work.

Explain the mutual obligations between lord and serfs under the manor system?

The peasant's obligations to the Lord of the Manor were based mostly on farming work. The peasant would work large proportions of their day on the land of their Lord, the rest of their day would be put toward farming for themselves and their family. This is why peasants often had large families, as they often did not have enough time to properly support their family and thus needed as many family members as possible to help with the farming. In exchange for working on their Lord's land, peasants were given small plots of lands for themselves and their family. Aswell as the plot of land, peasants were promised protection by their Lords. That means the peasants or villeins had to work 5 days a week (weekwork they used to call it though)
