Here are the notes
Only teach kids what
their job is on the manor
Spend their whole
lives within a few miles
Education has
nothing to do with their lifestyle
Manor is the land
owned
King isn't a part of
the people's life, there for not important
Most people are
Catholic in Europe
Feudalism:
- A political, military, and economic system based on land-holding and protective alliance
- In other words: they system is based on personal loyalty to people who can help
- Government is not a main part.
- Knights are hired and loyal to the lord hiring you
- Vassals: the people that help the rich people hold their land.
The Feudal Pyramid-
King
The
most powerful Vassals
(Nobles
and Bishops)
Knights-
mounted warriors who received Fiefs for defending their lord's land
Peasants
(mostly Serfs)
(Landless,
powerless, moneyless, rights-less)
(Just
working the land for "the man" (their lord)]
-majority of people
are poor
Mind your manor:
- Manor: the lord's estate
- The lord's manor house
- A church
- Some workshops
- 15-30 families
- All on a few square miles
- Good news: it is a self-sufficient community
- Bad News: It is hard if your are a peasant
Peasants:
- Poor and pay high taxes
- Tax on grain
- Tax on marriage
- Church tax (tithe- 10 percent tax on their income)
- Live in crowded cottages
