Manorialism

What is Manorialism

During the Middle Ages, the method of land ownership that was prevalent in some regions of Europe, most notably France and later England, was known as manorialism. This system is often referred to as seigneurialism, the manor system, or the manorial system. One of its distinguishing characteristics was a huge manor house that was often fortified. Within this manor house, the lord of the manor and his dependents lived and controlled a rural estate. Additionally, there was a population of laborers or serfs who worked the land from the surrounding area in order to provide for themselves and the master. At first, these workers satisfied their commitments by providing their services in the form of labor time or in-kind produce; later, as the level of commercial activity expanded, they were compensated with currency. Part of the feudal regime was the practice of manorialism.
