Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Feudalism provided people with protection and safety by establishing a stable social order. Under this system, people were bound to one another by promises of loyalty. In theory, all the land in the kingdom belonged to the monarch (usually a king, but sometimes a queen).
Detailed explanation-3: -Under the feudal system land was granted to people for service. It started at the top with the king granting his land to a baron for soldiers all the way down to a peasant getting land to grow crops. The center of life in the Middle Ages was the manor. The manor was run by the local lord.
Detailed explanation-4: -Knights were vassals that served the lords with a position of honor and status. Serfs also served the lords from a lower position and were often overseen by the knights who managed estates for the lords. The serfs worked the land and paid taxes in the form of money and crops.
