Manor Life

  • How would you survive if your community had to do everything for itself? e.g.

food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, health care, defense, education,

your own tools – how would you organize that?

  • the different parts of a manor (see p. 49)
  • the different social positions of people living on the manor (pp. 49 - 50)
  • improvements in agriculture (p. 51) especially the three-field system
  • feudal justice, how law and order were maintained (p. 52)
  • what would life be like if it was very basic, where everybody had a specific job that other people depended on, and where there was a lot of fear and insecurity?
