The manor system
Slide 7 - Tekstslide
The Manor System:

= a deal between the SERFS and their LORD
The Manor = the land on which the lord and the serfs lived.
In short: the serfs can use the lord's land and must work for him in exchange for protection
Slide 8 - Tekstslide
manor house
The place where the lord lived and from where he ruled the village.
Many times the manor was fortified by walls. Sometimes the manor was built on top of a small hill and surrounded by a palissade.
The manor farm consisted of the manor (= fortified farmhouse / castle) + some land with orchards, farming fields and work places around it.
mill
The mill was where people grounded wheat and grain.
It was owned by the lord.
Serf peasants could use the mill to grind their grain, but of course they had to pay the lord for this. The payment was not money, but a percentage of the produce of the peasant.
farm
The houses the peasants (= farmers) lived in were not as nice as the manor house. They were thatched roofed
The palissade surrounds the manor farm. If the domain is attacked the peasants can find shelter within the walls of the manor farm.
Peasants worked on farm land for the lord in exchange for protection and land.
church
The church is where holy events took place (weddings, sermons, funerals). The church is also where the sick would be taken care of.
Sometimes the lord used this place to speak justice. He could hand out punishments to criminals.
A Shepard worked with the livestock in the fields. This would help produce food and cloth for the village
orchard
the manor's orchard.
servile duties
This meant that serfs needed to work for the lord two or three days a week. They worked the lord's fields, or built and repaired his palissade.
The Manor
A. where the lord lives
B. Domain: where the peasants live
