  1. Aim: What was daily life like under feudalism? • Do Now: If you had lived during the Middle Ages, would you have willingly chosen to be a serf, or would you have taken your chances in the dangerous world of Western Europe without a lord to protect you?

  2. I. Life on the Manor • In the feudal system, most people lived on the manor. A manor included the lord’s house, a small village, a church, a mill and fields and woods. • Since there was almost no trade, a manor had to grow or make many things people needed to live (crops, clothing, tools, etc.)

  4. II. Castles • The noble’s house was often a castle with thick stone walls. The noble, his wife, their children, and all servants and skilled workers of the manor lived in the castle. • Serfs lived in the village outside the castle, usually in huts made of sticks and mud. In case of attack, the serfs could run to the castle for protection.
