  2. A peasant’s job • Peasantsworked on the land, that was ownedby a monastery/ lord: • Take care of the animals, look after the vineyard, harvesting, etc. • The monastery had a taskforeveryone.

  3. Manorialismandserfdom. • The biggest part of the population was peasant. • Therewere wars going on, andmanydangersbecause of the massmigrations. • Sopeasants went to look forsafety. • They found protection on the domain farms of powerful lords or monasteries.

  4. A domain had 2 parts: • The lord had 1 part • The serfs ( peasants) andtheirfarmsteadswere the other part. • In the middle was a manor. (=landhuis) • This is the placewhere the representative of the lord lived: the bailiff. (= opzichter)

  5. Therewere more buildings on the domain: • Small church, a mill, a brewery, or warehouses, a fishing pond. • Therewerealsomanyfields, furtheraway. • Outside the domain were the woodsandmeadows ( = weiden)

  6. These woodsbelongedto the lord, but the serfs (= horigen) couldusethem: • Gatherwood, let the pigsroamaround. • In exchange forsomewood.

  7. The peasants had topaytaxes. • This was a part of theirharvest. • Theyalso had to do someworkfor the lord. • We call thisvassal services ( horigen diensten). • = work on the field, fixing fences, chopping trees, carryingwood, spin andweave, etc.

  8. This deal between lords andserfs is called: • Manorialism (= hofstelsel) • Serfs never left the domain. • On the domain was everythingtheyneeded. = autarchic(= autarkisch)

  9. Most peasantswere semi-free serfs. • They had theirown piece of land, withfarmstead, but werenotallowedtoleave the domain without permission. • We call this: serfdom. (=lijfeigenschap)
