feudalism and the manor system

Feudalism- When a noble, powerful Lord, or King owns a large patch of land, but a fief is used by their vassals.
Manor System- A set or rights between the Lords and their serfs.

why did poor peasants remain poor their entire lives. What effect do you think this had on their beliefs?
There were only two ways to for a peasant to earn their freedom, buy a patch or land and earn money. One of the ways was to pay your lord and buy your freedom; however this only applied to peasants that worked in the manor. Also, they could escape and if they managed to survive for a year and a day (366 days), they would b
e granted freedom.
