Was the development of feudalism credited to Charlemagne?

I think it is best to ay that Charlemagne did not develop feudalism. Feudalism means different things to different people, and there is no good, broadly accepted definition of the word. But to see how Charlemagne fit into the scheme of feudalism, we could look at two different ideas of what it is. One of these equates feudalism with manorialism. This is a system in which unfree serfs, bound to the soil, work manors that are possession of lords who derive their authority from a monarch or higher lord and their income from the manor. This system originated when Constantine I decreed that the coloni who worked on villas were not permitted to leave those villas. Another definition of feudalism is a system in which a weak central government is supported by a series of feudal vows, such as the commendation, with authority spread through the system to the lowest level. This is a system that is ideally suited to an environment in which critical problems, such as Viking raids, develop locally and disappear too fast for a national military to respond. This system originated soon after the death of Charlemagne, and existed in France, the Holy Roman Empire, and very briefly in England, along with other places.

Where would your home be on a medieval manor if you were a dyer?

Most often, dyers would have lived in villages on the manors, however they were placed. Most manors had hamlets or villages on them, and it was in these that most laboring people lived. Dyers had special needs for water, and this would have influenced where their homes were placed, but nearly all the villages on estates had water access nearby.

Did peasants come with the manors?

Yes, peasants typically came with the manors during the feudal system. Manors were large estates that included not only the lord's residence and agricultural land but also the serfs and peasants who worked the land. These peasants were often bound to the manor and required to provide labor and a portion of their produce in exchange for protection and land to cultivate. Thus, the manorial system was intrinsically linked to the presence and labor of peasants.
