The answer depends somewhat on how specific or particular you want to be. A fief is the land granted to a vassal under feudalism. A manor is an isolated, self-contained village of sorts that is the entire (or less) land of a fief. A manor is typically 1000 acres and approximately 200 people. It is built around a manor house. Technically, there could be many manors on a single fief. So while a fief is the land granted by a lord to a vassal, the manor is the specific economic system of the manor-centric living system of the peasants and nobles in the middle ages.

What was the difference between calvert's manor system plan in Maryland and use of indentured servants in Virginia was?

Calvert's manor system in Maryland focused on establishing large land grants to attract wealthy settlers who would bring in indentured servants or slaves to work on the land. In Virginia, the heavy reliance on indentured servants led to the development of a more hierarchical society based on labor contracts, while the manor system in Maryland allowed for a more feudal-like structure with landowners having greater control over the workforce.

What are the differences between a vassal and a serf?

A vassal was a subject of a monarch who held a fief from that monarch. In other words the vassal was a lord with an estate that consisted of one or more manors. In return for the fief, the vassal had to give an oath swearing to support the monarch as needed, such as to fight for him in wars and provide soldiers from his followers. A serf was a peasant who had no land of his own, but had a relationship with a lord that was in some respects like the relationship between the vassal and the monarch. Just as the vassal got land from the king, the serf was provided with a place to live and fields to farm, though the were not his to own. And just as the vassal supported the monarch with soldiers, the serf supported the lord with food, labor, or money for rent.

How was fief-holding and manorialism related?

Fief-holding was a system in which vassals were granted land (fiefs) by lords in exchange for loyalty and military service. Manorialism, on the other hand, was an economic system centered around the manor, a large estate controlled by a lord. Fiefs were often part of manors, with vassals holding land from the lord within the manor and providing labor and resources in return.
