9. Manor System – part of Feudalism • The manor system was where the majority of people lived during the Middle Ages. • Since much of Europe was devastated by war, powerful lords and ladies built fortified castles where they could live, along with their respective staff. These massive plots of land became known as manors. • A manor was self-sufficient, meaning that everything needed to survive could be located on the property. • For example, manors had housing for all the people who worked for the lord and lady, food sources, water sources, and specialty shops. Please look at the following diagram, which depicts a typical medieval manor (next slide).

They raided into Germany, Italy, and other parts of Western Europe. • Honoris - Muslim invaders came from the South. They conquered the Iberian Peninsula and the island of Sicily. • Viribus- Vikings were the greatest and boldest of the invaders. They originated in Scandinavia in Northern Europe. Vikings were ruthless and they targeted monasteries, farms and villages. They chose these targets because they were usually poorly defended.

17. IneffectiveKings • Kings were powerless against these invaders. • The invaders were swift and the kings could not mount a defense before the invaders had come and gone. • As a result, the responsibility for protection fell to local lords. These lords promised to protect the people and their homes in their area . • In return the people pledged their service and loyalty to this lord. • This system of loyalty and protection became known as feudalism.

22. Feudal M&M’s • You’ve each drawn a card to let you know what role you’ll be playing in the simulation. • Each of you belongs to 1-3 realms (A, B, C) with a king over all. • Each member of the realm will receive baggie containing 10 M&M’s (the candy represents the harvest reaped in a particular year by the peasants.

23. How feudalism works…the Simulation Peasants were paying for their protection with their crops… • Vassals confiscate 6 M&M’s from EACH peasant! • From each peasant’s payment, the vassal is to keep 1 piece • And give 7 to their noble. • From each vassal’s payment of fidelity (loyalty) the noble is to keep 2 pieces • And give 15 candies to the king

24. Discussion • In the early medieval period, the rights of man were not a major concern; survival was. • What is the distribution of M&M’s?? • What need would the nobles and king have for all that food and material? • What choice did the peasants have? • Why did feudalism work?

25. Discussion cont… • The fact is that a meager subsistence by the peasants was preferable to being ravaged by marauding bands of outlaws and armies. • You are now permitted to keep and consume your allotment of M&M’s – this is an accurate portrayal of the disparity of wealth and power that existed during feudalism.

Your parents are tired and weak, and you wish you could do something to improve your lives. Is there any way you could change your life?
