A serf, also know as a villein, was a medieval peasant who owed labor services to the local lord of the manor they lived in. Serfs were not free in the modern sense, in that they could not move away from their lord's major without permission (although sometimes this was arranged by payment or other agreement) but they were notchattelslaves in the modern sense. The typical labor obligation was about two days a week on average, and the remainder of the time a serf could work their own lands (if they held any from the lord) or work for others for pay. Serfs had their own property and money, and could generally manage their own affairs as they chose as long as their labor obligation was met. A prosperous serf even had the option to pay another person to do their labor obligation for them.
Like most medieval villagers, serfs primarily did farm work, raising crops, tending gardens, and caring for animals.
