Study Notes
-
Manors were self-sufficient communities in Feudal Europe, consisting of residents from various social classes, including peasants, knights, lords, and nobles.
-
Manors typically featured large fields for agriculture, forests for hunting (accessible only to nobles), a church, and a village with specialized workplaces such as mills, bakeries, and blacksmith shops.
-
Each manor produced or grew all necessary items for food, clothing, and shelter, with buildings dedicated to milling grain, baking school, blacksmithing, and other trades.
-
People living on manors were categorized as peasants, tradespeople, women/children, or higher-class officials. Peasants worked the land for the lord, while tradespeople sold their goods and services.
-
Lords were in charge of managing the manor and granting land to tenants. Wealthy lords had large manors, stone houses called manor houses, and several hired assistants like bailiffs and reeves.
-
The bailiff was the lord's representative on the manor and instructed tasks for the peasants, while the reeve was a wealthy peasant who helped the bailiff.
-
Peasants worked long hours growing food, making goods, or serving their lord, often as serfs bound to the land, but were guaranteed food, shelter, and protection.
-
The manor was largely self-sufficient, producing three crops in a rotating system and having seasonal duties for each season.
