Manorialism was the economic system under Feudalism!. It was based on the manor - the house the lord lived in, and all the surrounding lands!. Self-sufficient economic system during the Middle Ages, where land was the main source of wealth instead of money or trade!.
There was little need to trade because each manor was self-sufficient, meaning it raised everything it needed to survive!. So they aren't different, but that feudalism was the whole world, but manorialism was the way the economy was structured!. Like capitalism existing within democracy!.

Chivalry:
From the 12th century onward chivalry came to be understood as a moral, religious and social code of knightly conduct!. The particulars of the code varied, but codes would emphasize the virtues of courage, honor, and service!. Chivalry also came to refer to an idealization of the life and manners of the knight at home in his castle and with his court!. Medieval knights glorified and identified with the valor, tactics and ideals of ancient Romans!.

Social Class is self evident, and can easily be researched!.

Manor is a self contained farmhouse and living area for the wealthier class where food was grown and where food grown by peasants was consumed!.

Monasteries were centres of learning and of prayer!. They were important contributors to the surrounding community!. They were centres of intellectual progression and education!. They welcomed aspiring priests to come study and learn, allowing them even to challenge doctrine in dialogue with superiors!.

Education is covered by monasteries, and village and church should be obvious!.

I hope this all helps, and I hope you get some more info on these subjects!. Let me know what you think of the answers I've given too!

cheers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
