Detailed explanation-1: -Manor-Estate held by a lord and farmed by tenants who owed him rents and services, and whose relations with him were governed by his manorial court.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the Middle Ages, land within a lord’s manor provided sustenance and survival, and being a villein guaranteed access to land and kept crops secure from theft by marauding robbers. Landlords, even where legally entitled to do so, rarely evicted villeins, because of the value of their labour.
Detailed explanation-3: -A demesne (/dɪˈmeɪn, -ˈmiːn/ di-MAYN, -MEEN) or domain was all the land retained and managed by a lord of the manor under the feudal system for his own use, occupation, or support.
Detailed explanation-4: -A social hierarchy divided the peasantry: at the bottom of the structure were the serfs, who were legally tied to the land they worked. They were obliged both to grow their own food and to labour for the landowner.
