In a manor a very rich manor
lords lived in their own castle on their manor
The knight was a noble so he had estates or a manor. Some also had castles.
because there was a castle on every manor. lords and ladies live there and the also protect the manor because they are usually on the edge on the manor.
It depends on the type of 'lord' - junior lords were lords of the manor and thefore lived in manor houses. Senior lords probably had castles.
The knights lived in castles with their lords (kings).
They served their kings for the rest of their lives. They protected the manor. Served noble lords in exchange for fiefs. Fought on horeback. Knights were a class in the midieval pyramid, or the Feudal System. If you're father was a knight, you were born a knight and stayed a knight.
In England the medieval knight lived in a manor house not in the castle. A number of farms supported one manor house. One manor house supported one knight. England had about 6,000 manor houses. It took a number of manors to support a castle. The baron living in the castle might also be a knight. The solders living in the castle were not generally knights.
The lord in the middle ages lived in the back of a castle !
I think the factors that made the manor the center of the European economy during the Middle Ages were a weak central government and feudalism because the knight that protected the lords got land around the lord's house which created the manor.
