  1. Manorialism By, Mark Rowley And Xavier Leong-Hussey

  2. Manorialism • Manorialism is a system where a lord has complete control over the manor and serfs. • A manor is a piece of land given to a lord, which usually includes a manor house for the lord’s family to live in, a church, homes for serfs, a mill, and a blacksmith shop.

  3. Serfs • Serfs were the lowest class of society who worked on manors. • Serfs were bound to the land, unpaid, and could not be bought or traded. • Unlike peasants, serfs were bound to the manors.

  4. Economy • The lord of the manor received an income because some serfs paid to use his land and some worked on his land and gave him part of their crops. • Serfs either paid for their part of land and got to keep their crops or worked and got to keep some crops and had a place to live. • The barter system was used instead of money.

  5. Hierarchy • The king or monarch was at the top of the system. • Next were the lords who controlled serfs, but had to pay the king for the land with crops and services. • Knights protected the lord and manor in exchange for rewards and titles. • At the bottom were the serfs. They worked the land for some money and protection.

  6. Pros • Everyone benefited in some way and were rewarded for their work. • Everyone had some sort of employment or occupation.

  7. Cons • Life was hard and short for serfs. • There was no trade or cultural diffusion because everything needed was made in the manor.

  8. Decline • Money replaced the barter system. • Industry grew. • Towns were formed and peasants left manors.
