Detailed explanation-1: -Early medieval manors were the hub of social, political, and legal activity. The lord of the manor had the final say in all matters, and his serfs or villeins were contractually obligated to provide goods and services. The manorial system eventually died out as Europe moved into a money-based economy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The manor was largely a self-sufficient community. The serfs and peasants raised or produced nearly everything that they and their lord needed for daily life-crops, milk and cheese, fuel, cloth, leather goods, and lumber.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did lords and peasants benefit from the manorial system? The lord’s farmlands were taken care of and productive. Peasants were provided protection from foreign invaders.
