Life On An Early Medieval Manor - "Capitulary de Villis"

In my opinion, the material life and conditions within the Carolingian countryside were very good. However, this "good" only applied to the rich who had stewards and could afford all the luxuries of their estates. The conditions were kept especially clean to please the lords, while there were so many materialistic goods within the house unimaginable. For example, the living quarters included not only standard sleep equipment such as beds and pillows, but so many other items such as tables, benches, weapons, etc; nothing you'd find in a ordinary home. The amount of goods estates give a good impression on the power of the owners. Overall, the "Capitulary de Villis" was most beneficial to the stewards because it told them how and what to do in estates, but at the same time, this decree also was used by the lords to gain more wealth and power.
