The lords could not take the away the serfs' right to farm and live on the manor.
The concept of "rights" comes out of the Enlightenment. In the Middle Ages, a person had "privileges" which could be given or revoked by a living king. As a result, a person could do what they were allowed to do. This is in fundamental disagreement with the idea of "rights" because a right exists regardless of what the current laws say.

How do women rights affect the people around the world?
ANSWER: They serve to impede the spread of natural rights around the world. Women are people and have the same rights as men. This is what the womens movement is and should be about. If a woman has her rights abrogated and derogated, for whatever reason, she has been wronged and has every right to use our Constitutional government to redress those grievances. The phrase "womens rights" suggest that women have rights different than natural rights. This would be privilege, and it is not privilege that the women's movement wants, (at least I think that's correct) they want to enjoy their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Womens rights and gay rights and minority rights in general are so called "civil rights" which are granted by a government. Natural rights are owned by the people, always, at all times. The greatest minority in the world is the individual, and it is their natural rights, not civil rights that make them free.
How are fundamental rights are essential?
Fundamental rights are essential because when you are deprived of those rights, you are going to be very unhappy about it (or dead). Those governments which do not respect human rights take the viewpoint that the unhappiness or death of individuals does not matter to them, since (as Napoleon said) you cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. In other words, what is essential to some people may not be perceived as essential by other people. We all get to decide what is essential to us. That said, most people would very much like to enjoy certain fundamental rights. The right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" as stated in the Declaration of Independence, remains as good a summary as any, of the fundamental rights that we would like to have.
