During medieval times, the daughters of the nobility were not educated, and many of them never even learned to read or write.

They were expected to learn the "domestic arts" of sewing and cooking, etc. In law, they were considered "chattel" (possessions) of the Lord and could be disposed of as he saw fit.

Their principal worth to him would be to solidify family alliances through marriage. And if the Lord had more daughters than he needed or wanted, he would pack the excess daughters off to the Nunnery.

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.
