I am taking this to read "What was the land a lord reserved for his own use?"
Answer: Lands held directly by the lord of a manor and not held in tenancy by his peasants was called the demesne (pronounced duh-main, a cognate to the word domain). These were fields, not necessarily contiguous to the manor house, but in an open field system distributed throughout the village farmland, that the lord retained both for providing victuals for his household and also providing cash crops to sell, which was a substantial part of a lord's income. These land were worked by a combination of the labor owed to the lord by his tenants, and also hired laborers.
During the later middle ages some lords ceased working their lands directly, and instead leased them out to peasant farmers. In some cases these lands were in later years taken back "in hand" by the lord. These decisions were made by evaluating a combination of the market price of crops and the cost of labor to produce them. In at least some cases feudal lords found it simpler to derive cash rents from their demesne, rather than producing crops themselves.
