2. Manorialism  Common economic system in Medieval Europe  Manor- An area of land owned by a nobleman  Peasants worked the land in exchange for protection from nobleman  Held twelve to sixty families at a time

3. Causes for Manorialism  After fall of Roman Empire, people lacked feeling of security because of no strong central government  Workers felt stability in a time of changes and uncertainty

4. Farming  In 12 Century A.D., Three Field System was invented  Nobles took their land and divided into three. Only two thirds of the land would grow crops at one time  This prevented soil exhaustion and made famine less likely because of multiple crops

5. Farming (Cont.)  New heavy plow was more effective, but required more oxen.  Most people only had one, so many people were needed to work on manor  This was called collective farming.

6. End of Manorialism  Revival of trade in Europe eventually ended Manorialism  Continued more in Eastern Europe until the 19 th century

7. Feudalism  definition-” system of governance in medieval Europe characterized by landed nobility who had responsibilities to the king, in return for the use of land” (Salem history)  Started with Germanic tribesmen who swore loyalty to their chief  Main form of government in medieval Europe

8. Key concepts of Feudalism  Three main concepts  Lords- nobles who own land  Vassals- People who are given land by a lord  Fiefs- the name given to the plots of land given to vassals

9. Becoming a vassal  Regular commoners could be chosen to become a vassal and would become one at a commendation ceremony  A great time of celebration  The vassal would pay homage and swear loyalty to the lord

10. Responsibilities of vassals  Must promise to supply soldiers to his lord during a time of war and must fight with his troops  Would be one of the lord’s advisors when big decisions had to be made  Gave housing to the lord during a time of need

11. Benefits vassals enjoyed  They usually got rich off of the peasants work  Owned a huge plot of land  Could have vassals of their own to increase the amount of soldiers to support their fief  In 12 th century England they could pay money to not fight for their lord, but the lord would use the money to buy mercenaries.

12. Feudalism effect on the lower class  Peasants worked very hard for very little money  Peasants were known as serfs  They made their lords rich  Feudalism is widely known as being a tyrannical form of government due to the little power obtained by the lowest class

13. The three orders  Used to divide people into three groups  “those who fought”  “those who work”  “those who pray”

14. Empires that used feudalism  12 th century England  11 th century France  Japan  Ottoman empire

15. End of feudalism  Master craftsmen and merchants were outside the boundaries of the three orders  Gave the lords so much wealth that they became interested in becoming rich trade states  Started the renaissance

16. Questions…  1. What was a benefit of working on the manor?  2. What system led to more efficient farming?  3. What were the three orders?
