What are two classes in the manorial system?
The two classes of the early, or dark, middle ages manorial system would be the lord and peasant. Feel free to copy this answer, I don't care.
What was the land administered by the lord called?
Under the feudal system no lords owned any land; they simply held it legally from the king or from the Church (the only two landowners). In return they owed military service and financial debts.Naturally nobles did not wish to farm the land themselves so they gave the peasant workforce the right to hold certain sections of it in return for working on the lord's own farmland (known as the demesne). But legally the lord/knight/nobleman/abbot (or whoever the landholder was) had absolute power over all the lands, villages, peasants and produce on the lands he held.A landholder would hold many manors, scattered around the country; together these holdings were called an honour.
What did villains do for the lord?
First off it's villein. They would work the Lord of the Manor's land. A villein and his family would have a little bit of land for themselves too. If you were a villein, you were at the bottom of the feudal system; it would be very hard for a villein to move up the system.
