How was land divided on the manors?
AnswerLanded wasn't really divided on manors. There were areas for crops, herds, living, and hunting. It all belonged to the lord of the manor who in turn used it with permission of the king. AnswerThe land on a manor was divided into three classes, as follows: Demesne, which was the land a lord reserved for his own use. This could be for such purposes as hunting, or for gardens, or for other purposes, as he saw fit.Dependent holdings, which were farmed by the serfs, communally or singly, in exchange for a part of the crops or serviceFree peasant land, on which a peasant typically paid rentThere was church land on many manors, and this technically belonged to the lord, and I suppose it was part of the demesne. Also there were villages on the land of some manors, and I do not know for certain what the status of this land was, but have always assumed it twas part of the free peasant land. Of course there was a lot of variation in all of this.There is a link below to an article on Manorialism, to the section on land use and other features.
