They fought for the Kings and Queens in exchange for land. Lower ranked lords gave upper rank lords money on special occasions. They also gave upper lords food and shelter if they needed it. The more land they owned, the more power they got.]]> 2018-05-17 16:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aw010667/yz668bjzntza/wish/261648174 aw010667 https://padlet.com/aw010667/yz668bjzntza/wish/261654258 The knights served the lords in exchange for land.

That means they didn't own any land. They did, though, work on land owned by knights or nobles. They farmed on the land. They lived in small houses on a manor. Serfs were not allowed to leave the manor without the lord's permission. The peasants had no formal education, but knew how do things like farm and make clothes.]]> 2018-05-18 15:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aw010667/yz668bjzntza/wish/261968849 aw010667 https://padlet.com/aw010667/yz668bjzntza/wish/261974874 William got his name 'William the Conqueror' when he conquered England.

Manors were owned by lords. The lord had serfs farm on their land. While the lord had a big house of castle, serfs had tiny houses with one room and a bed of hay. There was a church in the manor, too. The land included fields, water, and forests. There was no need to leave the manor, especially because of the blacksmith and mill on the manor's land. The serf's taxes were collected by the lord.]]> 2018-05-18 16:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aw010667/yz668bjzntza/wish/261976914 aw010667 https://padlet.com/aw010667/yz668bjzntza/wish/262218765 Eleanor was born around 1122 and died in 1204.

The population increased and so did trade in towns. This also affected manors, too. Knights no longer wanted land. They instead wanted money.
