Is a fiefdom the same as a manor?

No, a fiefdom and a manor are not the same. A fiefdom refers to a larger territory granted by a lord to a vassal in exchange for loyalty and service, particularly during the feudal period. In contrast, a manor is a specific estate or property within a fiefdom, typically consisting of a house, agricultural land, and villages. While a manor can be part of a fiefdom, the two terms refer to different concepts within medieval feudal systems.
