Manors
In the Middle Ages, most economic systems were dominated by agriculture, and most people worked on farms or manorial estates.
The term "estates" is most frequently applied to the class distinctions of the kingdom of France, beginning in the Middle Ages. Similar stratification occurred during the histories of Sweden and Finland.
During the Middle Ages, women belonged to the second and third estates just like men. However, their position in these estates, which was the nobility or peasantry, was usually related to their lineage. Women were further categorized by female states like virgin, wife, or widow. They could also become members of the First Estate, which was the Church, if they entered religious life.
The third period of the Middle Ages was the Late Middle Ages. The first is called the Early Middle Ages or the Dark Age. The second period was the High Middle Ages.

There were some places where a lot of them were slaves. There were also places were they were mostly free peasants who were tenants on the estates.
