The Manorial System: Peasants and Serfs
The Manorial System: Peasants and Serfs is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 1: Feudalism and Manorialism in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
While Feudalism was the political/military system, Manorialism was the economic system. The center of life was the Manor , the lord's estate. Because trade had vanished and roads were dangerous, the manor had to be Self Sufficient , producing everything from food and wool to iron tools.
The majority of the population were Peasants , specifically Serfs . Serfs were not slaves (they could not be sold), but they were bound to the land. They could not leave the manor without the lord's permission. In exchange for a small strip of land to farm and protection inside the castle walls during attacks, serfs gave the lord a portion of their crops and days of unpaid labor.
