Nobles and knights did not own land, they simply held it from the king (who owned every square inch). A knight might hold as many as seven or eight manors in different parts of the country, each including one or more villages or parts of villages. The total land held in this way was called an "honour" (Anglo-Norman French honur, feudal domain, property and rights).
Since a nobleman could not (and would not) work all this land himself, he allowed his tenant farming peasants to hold sections of it, in return for rents, customary dues and work obligations. The king still owned all of it, but it was occupied and worked by these farming peasants.
