farm, and they weren’t repaid fairly. Serf farmers had many responsibilities and had to cater to the lord’s needs. The lord of the manor controlled the work performed by the farmers. The farmers had to be able to work for hours on end every single day, do most of the lord’s work for them (such as weeding their land and selling their grain), and they were also expected to give the lord 40 eggs on easter (Howarth 9). When the serfs finished all their required work labors, they were expected to…

Peasant women shared some part of the work in the farm with their husbands. All of the peasants owed the lord certain duties because of what was provided from the lord. A few days of work each week was needed to…

The Lord would also tend to his spiritual well-being by taking David to calming places such as a green pasture so when he walked in the shadows of darkness, he wouldn’t be afraid. David continued to proclaim that the Lord would always protect him and even when his enemies were close. The Lord would provide David with luxuries and fine oils and foods thanks to the…

vassals. To ensure protection from these large landowners, also known as lords, these serfs and vassals had to give their services and pay large incomes to them. These incomes, imposed by the lord, were considered taxes. This system was known as feudalism, or the manorial system, which is a political, economic, and social system. Many kings and elite followed this system, having multiple vassals and serfs, as well as appointing lords, most of whom were his elite friends. An increased need for…

Chain of Being, told everyone where they belonged in society. The Great Chain of being stated a place for everyone to be in. The king had to follow the pope. God was above all. Men were above women. Lords were above serfs. The chain of loyalty started from the Pope to the king, to lords, to the lord 's below them, and then finally, at the end of the chain were the serfs (Lenehan 4).
