Best Answer

The medieval economy is driven by farming, and wealth was generally tied to the control of land. This type of economy is known as an agrarian economy. It is estimated that around 90% of the population lived in small villages and engaged primarily in activities such as farming, raising animals, gardening, tending orchards, and to a lesser extent fishing.

Agriculture was the most important part of the medieval economy. In Western Europe, that probably meant that for much of the Middle Ages, the heart of the economy was the manor and its serfs.
