Feudal life in the middle 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. At the lowest
  echelon of society were the peasants, also called
  "serfs" or "villains." In exchange for living and
  working on his land, known as the "demesne," the
  lord offered his peasants protection.
