The South East wasn't manorialized?
-
-
-
not so much, no. and not "properly." the south-east retained small-sized extended families - often found pairs of brothers working farms on manors (especially in east anglia). there was more manorialism in the se than in the northern & western provinces, but less than central...
-
...the central province is "core england." (i think.)
-
Core England is Da Norf and if you don't believe me, take a visit.

Anything south of Durham might as well be France.

Neat maps of medieval England, but I don't know what any of it means. Nucleated settlements? Does that mean they were blown up by vikings?
-
=P nucleated settlements are closely settled places like villages or towns, as opposed to more dispersed hamlets or lone homesteads. significance of this is that nucleated settlements tended to be found in manorialized areas.
-
It sounds like it *was* easier to defend them from small groups of raiders.
-
had more to do with land usage. everyone in the villages being tied to a manor(s). the settlements were part of manor planning.
