Roman Rebels (Age of Charlemagne) Town Level 4

Grand Manor

Ambition held in check through the dissemination of privilege.

With the collapse the Empire, Europe of the Middle Ages evolved the Roman villa system into three elements; the feudal system, manorialism and serfdom. Feudalism divided the king's land into territories (or 'fiefs'), which were ruled by vassals in his name. Most of the land in Carolingian Europe was held 'allodially', meaning the vassal was vested with total control and (importantly) defence of the land in the name of the king. Manorialism legitimised the power they had, as the manor became the centre of local legal and economic authority. The lord of the manor became the most important local figure, his subjects tasked with working the surrounding land of the estate. At the bottom of this system (often represented by a triangle with the king at the apex) were the serfs, who were made to work the land in a system only slightly removed from slavery. The serfs worked the land for their own gain, but owed their masters a share of the produce that was grown. They were dependant on the lord's land to work, and were legally bound never to leave his service.
