Manorialism• Manor – an estate that a
lord ran and peasants worked.– Serfs = peasants legally
bound to the land. (60% of Europe!)
• Serfs work land for lord (1/3 or ½ of estate), worked rest of land to feed themselves.
– Vassal - A man who served a lord in a military capacity.
• Could be a knight or a serf.
• These manors frequently grew into towns or villages.– A wealthy or powerful lord
would fortify his manor house and turn it into a castle.
