what would a lord orf the manor would be called in the medieval times?

Question

ie: sir _______ etc

Answer 1

It would entirely depend on his status. Don't forget that the feudal system was (simply) an hierarchical system with each owing the land he occupied to someone further up the 'food chain'. At the top you would have Dukes holding directly of the King, down to relatively poor and humble knights, but all would be 'lord' of their respective 'manor'. Dukes would have formally been addressed as 'Your Grace'. lesser nobility as 'My Lord', lesser lords of the manor as 'sir', or more likely 'sire'. That latter expression would have also been used towards greater members of the nobility, including the King himself. The expression 'Your Majesty' did not some into use in England until the 13th or 14th century.



You should also remember that Lords of the Manor were not only secular. The church was a great landowner and had manors. Technically, the 'lord' would be the head of the ecclesiastical house in whose ownership the manor was and he may have been addressed by his title 'Abbot', 'Prior' or whatever, or just as 'Father'

Answer 2

"Lord of the manor" isn't a title, any more than "slum landlord" or "boarding-house landlady" is a title. It's just a description of someone who has specific property rights. (There are loads of websites suggesting that if you buy the lordship of a manor you get the right to call yourself "Lord Something", but this is NOT true, and never has been.)



So what the lord of a manor got called would depend on what his rank in society was, and that could vary widely. Many manors were owned direct by the Crown, and so the King was the lord of those manors. Othe manors were held by dukes, earls, and barons, who would each be referred to and addressed appropriately for their rank, e.g. "Your Grace" for a duke, "My Lord" for a baron. Still others were held by knights, who were always "Sir Christianname", and plain esquires, gentlemen and franklins, who were "Master Surname".

Answer 3

"Rashalana" doesn't much sound like an English place name, if that's what you have in mind. I'd recommend Mills' _A Dictionary of English Place-names_ as a way to see what they looked like and how they were created. If you have another country in mind, similar works can be found about some of the other European locations, though I don't have any specific books I can name. Check with your local librarian to see what they have on whatever country you want.

Answer 5

It depends who exactly is speaking. The lord's steward (known as a dapifer or seneschal) would often be Anglo-Norman and would speak that language; he would refer to his lord as "lige segnour", which could be translated as "my liege lord".



The bulk of the workforce spoke either Old English (up to about 1150) or Middle English (after that date). They would say "min hlaford" (my lord) or later "kinelord", or "legelord" with about the same meaning.

Answer 6

Maybe you should add the country you are referring to and the language.

Most names for these man are Lord or Master in different languages, But in other countries they just were called by their names.

Answer 7

Lord or Sir or Your Grace, for a short name he would be called by the place name, for example the Duke of Buckingham (there were several) was often simply called Buckingham, however if you were truly intimate with at least one of the Buckinghams you called him 'Bucky.'



But if you were a mere peasant you called a Lord, "MY Lord," and you might even go a step further (especially if you had just been caught doing naughty with his daughter or his sheep, "Mr Lord, Sir."
