Feudalism was the way of life in the Middle Ages. War was a way of life and manor houses were a frequent target. Safety was a primary need. Therefore, Lords divided their lands among vassals. In exchange for a fief, vassals pledged their service to the lord. The manor house was the foundation of the feudal economic system. Peasants farmed a lord's land and in exchange could look to the manor house for protection from bands of marauders and the security of being able to remain on the land all their life.
