Anastasia Santiago · Answer 1

Answer: Option A. Knight or Lord

Explanation:

A manor was a large estate, usually owned by a knight or Lord. The manor house was an informal collection of wood or stone buildings including a chapel, kitchen, farm buildings and, of course, the hall. The hall served as the meeting place for village business and it was where the manorial court was held. The manor was part of the feudal system of giving out land to the knight in exchange for them looking after the land and its people. Manors varied greatly in size and composition, and some were not even contiguous plots of land.
