This is a system called the Manor System. The lord of the manor would hire knights. To attracted workers the lord would say that his soldiers would protect the serfs who lived on the farm. In return the serfs would have to farm on the land. So the knights made the manor militarily self sufficient and the serfs' farming made them economically selfsufficient


What is a villein?

In the Middle Ages, a villein was a peasant who, under the feudal system of land tenure that prevailed in Europe in the Middle Ages, paid dues and services to a lord in exchange for land. Villeins were not slaves, and were named as freemen and freewomen in medieval documents, however they were not free. They, and their land and possessions belonged to the lord of the manor. They were not free to leave the manor, and they were subject to a very large number of obligations required by the lord, including work on the lord's land two or three days a week, additional work at harvest, and the payment of manorial dues. In lots of places they also had to pay for the right to brew ale, bake bread, and grind corn at the mill, that was probably owned by the lord.

How was manor life different than town and city life?

Manor Life The center of the manor was the house where the lord and his family lived. A manor was a piece of land having farm fields, and woods, a hamlet or village, farm buildings, and a house for a lord to live in with his family. Sometimes there was a second, smaller, nice house. Peasants called serfs lived and worked on the manor. The homes of the lords of the estates, and tended to be large and much more comfortable than the houses of other people. Some of the manor houses were fortified, and these could look very much like castles. Activities on the manor were from farming to woodworking to wine making. Town Life In the center of the town were the market square and a cathedral.Most medieval towns were dirty, cramped, and busy places. The streets were narrow, dirty, and usually not paved. Goldsmiths, bakers, weavers, and dryers had a town life. Most of the houses were made out of wood and easily caught on fire. In towns people with the same occupation formed groups called guilds. Guilds watched out for their members and worked to make sure everyone found employment.

Did a lord of a medieval manor live in a manor house?

The manor house was the house for the lord of the manor. Usually the lord lived in a manor house, but lords often had more than one manor, and some lords had many. The result was that sometimes the only people who lived in the manor house were the household servants. If the lord was not living in the manor house, it was usually kept ready for him to stay in if he showed up. There were many cases of manors being rented out, and in such a case, the person who rented it lived in the manor house. This normally happened only if the lord of the manor was short of money.
