Question

Aside from convenience for the lord and his family, what is the most likely reason a church was part of a manor?

A)The people who lived at the manor all shared the same faith.
B)The vassals vowed to obey God first and their lord second.
C)The peasants were required to attend church with the lord.
D)The parish priest had living quarters in the church.

Answer 1

Correct Answer choice is :

C) The peasants were required to attend church with the lord.

Majority of the farmers weren't free, however rather were agricultural laborer bound by the feudal system. They were supposed to stay in the land and had to figure many days every week for the lord of the manor. There have been some free peasants, however, most didn't leave their lord.

Answer 2

The answer is B. The lord could have reasoned his power as stemming from a divine source, so it is only just that his followers should worship God. God gave the lord and his family power and it was only through their grace that the vassals were given work and a place to live.
