Best Answer

The manorial system provided mutual support between people of different rank who had societal relationships with each other. It was based on the idea of mutual obligations, and oaths, to produce the support system. It tied the serfs to the soil and to their lord, but it also tied the lord to other lords or royalty of higher rank. The support system was not only economic, but also military and political.

Manorialism was important because it provided a great deal of security in times that were often rather chaotic. The manorial system probably protected serfs most effectively, providing them with a guarantee of a job, a place to live, and protection. There were times when free people became serfs because of this. But it also was the basis for the feudal system, which made it possible to assemble small fighting units very quickly to deal with such critical local issues as a Viking raid. At the time it was used, no national government had standing armies able to do this.

How did the manor serve the needs of the early. middle ages?

The manor was a farming estate provided by a monarch or high lord to a lesser noble, such as a knight, in exchange for military and political support. The knight used the manor to provide for his horses and to get an income, which also provided for his armor, a benefit to the monarch. The income of the lord of the manor came at least partly from the work of peasants, who raised food, but the manor could also provide for other things, such as a mill, pottery, blacksmith, and so on. The peasants who lived on the manor worked part time for the lord in exchange for fields to use for themselves, a place to live, and protection in times of trouble. The manor was pretty much self sufficient. Its purpose in the times it was developed, was to provide a military force for the monarch at a time when there were few resources to keep a standing army and when a standing army could not answer the immediate needs of such short-term local problems as a Viking raid.


How the manor system meet the needs of lords serfs and clergy?

The manorial system had the disadvantage of inhibiting people. For the serfs, it made it difficult to move to towns or cities to find different work. For the lords, it made it difficult to do things they might want to do with their property, because they had an obligation to provide homes, jobs, and protection to the serfs. The manorial system dispersed political and economic power to a very low level, and this made it difficult for monarchs to overcome weaknesses in their central governments.
