in the middle ages,serfs worked hard!

And they were loyal to the landlords as promised,so in return the land lord gave them, PROTECTION,SHELTER,FOOD,and MATERIAL to make clothing with! isn't that cool!

Serfs began working very early on in life. As young children, they would normally keep animals out of the non fallow fields in the three field system. If your father was a serf, everyone in your family became a serf unless you ran away, and in the late middle ages, a law was passed that said if you ran away, and weren't caught for 100 days, you became free. They ate maybe a half a pound each of meat for the whole year, and sometimes the food was so scarce and bland, women would add flavor with grass and dirt. The material for clothes were low quality, but one good thing they did get were holy sacraments from the priest, such as unction, and baptism.
