The term "manor house" can be loosely applied to a whole range of buildings, but at its most basic refers to the house of a local lord/landowner. In strict architectural terms a manor house is a late medieval country house.

In medieval times, the nobility included Kings, Lords, Knights, and Ladies. Manor houses and castles were drafty, dingy, and damp. They were built for protection, not for comfort. Compared to the common people, however, the nobility lived a far more comfortable life. Lords: Within the fief he owned, the lord had nearly total authority.
