Detailed explanation-1: -The manorial system was the most convenient device for organizing the estates of the aristocracy and the clergy in the Middle Ages in Europe, and it made feudalism possible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Manorialism was the economic, political, and social system structured operationally around a manor house on a self-sufficient estate worked by peasants, serfs, and free laborers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Medieval manors were designed to be as self-sufficient as possible because society and government in this time were both heavily de-centralized. This was so out of necessity.
Detailed explanation-4: -As towns grew, merchants gained in importance. They did not have the status of lords and landowners, but they had wealth, and lords sometimes would need to borrow money. All of this combined to make towns more important and feudal lords less so as time went on.
Detailed explanation-5: -The purpose of the Manor System was to organize society and to create agricultural goods. For instance, the feudal lord of the manor was responsible for providing wealth and assistance to higher lords or the monarchy, while peasants (or serfs) were responsible for working on the land of the feudal lord.
