Manorialism vs. Feudalism

Without Prejudice.
Quote:
Feudalism vs. manorialism

· Feudalism

o "A set of social and political practices, relationships among nobles (roughly equals)"

o Firmly established only ca. 900-ca.1050

o Based on land possession (the fief)

o Not so dependent a relationship

· Manorialism

o "A set of social and economic practices, relationships among nobles and commoners (not equals)"

o Originated in late Roman period, possibly earlier (freemen and coloni becoming serfs)

o Based on hierarchy, exploitation, need for protection
o A dependent relationship[more]


Here are som links and info concerning 'manorialism' vs. 'feudalism' and 'allodialism'. Perhaps see also: seignorialism.
