There was one house for the lord (it might also be a castle) and there was one church to pray at. All manors needed a field and water source to farm near. A forest nearby was essential for wood. Each manor also had a mill and blacksmith shop. The lord collected the taxes and made the laws. ]]> 2018-05-16 16:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261288999 ss039497 https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289045 William the Conqueror began feudalism in England when he defeated the English King in 1066, then claiming himself king.

They didn't own land, so they worked on a small piece of their lords land. The children tended the sheep and chickens while the parents farmed. They couldn't leave, they didn't have education, had to make their own clothes, but received protection from their lords. ]]> 2018-05-16 16:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289121 ss039497 https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289203 The knights were also an important part of the feudal system. They would get land in exchange for service to their lords. They could accept fiefs from several lords, but they might have to serve to much then. They commonly wore suits of armor and fought on horseback. ]]> 2018-05-16 16:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289203 ss039497 https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289232 The Nobles were the vassals of the kings. They were also the lords of lower nobles and knights. They would fight for the king, and in return, they would gain some land. The more land, the stronger the noble. Occasionally, the nobles would give the stronger ones food ad shelter if they needed it, and on even rarer occasions, money. ]]> 2018-05-16 16:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289232 ss039497 https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289280 The kings and queens were the greatest and most powerful lords. In order to become one, you need to be born into it. The monarchs had the knights and nobles as their vassals. They built castles for their protection and had even more protection from the vassals in return for land. ]]> 2018-05-16 16:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ss039497/middle_ages_socialstudies/wish/261289280
