Life on an Early Medieval Manor (Response)

On the basis of the "Capitulary de Villis", I would characterize the conditions of material life in the Carolingian country side as good. I believe in this because, the "Capitulary de Villis" basically talks about all the stuff there is in the Carolingian country, and based on the quantity of stuff that is being accounted for, one can say that life was content. Though, I feel that not everything would be perfect because, just because there is a lot of stuff to be taken account for doesn't mean those 'stuff' will always be there. Resources of grain could disappear form a bad harvest, meat could become fewer if hunters from other territory take game from the forests of the Carolingian country side. For the most part, the "Capitulary de Villis" shows the abundance of material possessions in the Carolingian country side, and the fact that portions of these stuff is being taken by the lords show how they want an abundant supply of stuff that together establish a variety. Although this may be the case, the people also get benefits like having a established district in which there are a variety of resources available, from the different types of people that provide them.
