Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The kings believed they were given the right to rule by God. This was called “divine right". Lords and Barons swore oaths of homage and fealty to their kings. The Lord held absolute power over the fief or manor including holding court and deciding punishments for crimes.
Detailed explanation-2: -A manorial lord could not sell his serfs like Romans sold slaves. However, serfs were legally tied to the land they worked on. If their lord sold his land, his serfs were sold along with the land. Serfs could not sell the land they lived on, and could not leave the manor without their lord’s permission.
