Under manorialism, a lord owned a plot of land which he would allow peasants and serfs to work on. Serfs would work the land of their lord, but would also have a portion of land to work themselves. Serfs would not be able to leave the manor. Lords had a lot of leisure time and were usually warriors. Hope that helps you.
