Download Manorialism - HmissbahAPWHP6

Asystem of economic and political relation between
landlors and their peasants.
Most people were serfs living in manors, agricultural
estates.
In return, they had to turn over part of their goods and to remain in
the land.
It was strengthened by the decline of trade and the
lack of larger political structures.
Serfs were the workers who recieved some protection
from the landlord.
Manorialism
The obligation of the system was heavy on the serfs,
they had to give up their crops in return for milling their
grain. They also had to provide many days of labor in
the lords's catle. They were not slaves, they could
pass their property down as long as they keep up with
their obligations.
Life on a manor is the medieval version of a relationship
which occurs, between landlord and peasant, in any
society where a leisured class depends directly on
agriculture carried out by others.
Life for serfs was difficult, agriculture equipment was
limited and production was low
Manorialism is the manor where the landlord
andserf have distinctive obligations.
Such landlords may be patricians living in their Roman
villas (seen by many historians as the original version
of the European manor) or feudal knights ensconced
in castles and fortified manor houses (a development
dating from Carolingian times).
Untill the 9th century when a better plow the moldboard was
intorduced allowing deeper turning in the soil, and the three fiel
system improved the land cultivations.
