There were two kinds of people on the land. First, there were the serfs or slaves. Next, there was the peasant. The only difference between the two is that slaves were owned by the estate and the peasant wasn't. The peasant earned his small hut to live in by working the estates land and taking care of the crops and animals. He was able to have a small patch of ground for himself and family, but 90% of his labor went to the lord of the manor. When he died he paid a tax for dying. Both the peasant and the serf were expected to fight in the wars that happened in conjunction with the estate where they lived. As far as an exact word for the time as to what these people were called I would say "peasant" is close. When William conquered England he spoke French so as a result the nobility spoke French and the common people spoke English. So, the French speaking nobility may have called them one thing and the English speaking peasant may have thought of him/herself as another.
