manorial system
noun
A system of social, political, and economic organization practised widely in medieval Europe, in which peasants and free tenants were rendered dependent on their lord for land tenure and the administration of local justice.
- The manorial system was intimately connected with the feudal system, but historians distinguish between the two on the basis that the manorial system did not involve estates held in fief..
