What code do the serfs follow?

Serfs had obligations to their lords, usually to work the lands and provide food. In exchange for this, they got a place to live and work, and a measure of protection and security. They were legally bound to the land and were not allowed to leave it; the other side of this is that the lord was not allowed to put them off either because that was part of the security he had to provide. Serfs had obligations to church and God. They attended church, prayed, and believed they would be appropriately rewarded in the afterlife.


Did the clergy take care of serfs?

The clergy and the Church sometimes advocated for serfs. The popes and bishops put pressure on members of the nobility to treat serfs well, and even issued decrees about such things as the safety of serfs in time of war. The churches and monasteries also provided sanctuary for people who were fugitives of whatever sort. In some cases a fugitive from justice had to be turned over to authorities after he had sufficient time to consider his crime, confess and do penance, which might be six weeks. In other cases, the sanctuary of the church or monastery was permanent, regardless of who the fugitive was, why the fugitive was wanted, or who was after him.

The serfs worked for the owner of the land they farmed and lived on. This could be a member of the nobility, a lesser member of the gentry, the king himself, or even some Church organization.
