Manorial System (similar to Encomienda)

Hola amigos de Nuestros Ranchos,

on the 15th of this month we will go again to the homeland of my family to preside among others an international competition of high school students in history from Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. The title will be: "Silesian Castles and Palaces". The event will take place at Schloss Tannhausen http://www.jedlinka.pl/ . I will represent the family Boehm, owners until the end of Wold War II in 1945.

My contribution to this event will be:
How did the landless knights (castellan/burgrave) survive in the newly formed admistration of the feudal countryside (manorial system/Grundherrschaft) around 1400 in Silesia?

We will be back in the beginning of October.

Best regards from Upstate New York,
Guenter Boehm (*1939 in Silesia)
