Ages?
For safety and for defense, people in the Middle Ages
formed small communities around a central lord or master.
Most people lived on a manor, which consisted of the castle,
the church, the village, and the surrounding farm land.
These manors were isolated, with occasional visits from
peddlers, pilgrims on their way to the Crusades, or soldiers
from other fiefdoms.
In this "feudal" system, the king awarded land grants or
"fiefs" to his most important nobles, his barons, and his
bishops, in return for their contribution of soldiers for the
king's armies. In exchange for living and working on his land.
