* Well, yes, serfs were the same as villiens. They did the same jobs. Working for the land and working for their lord. But, they didnt have to do all the hard work like villiens did. So therefore, i changed my anwser. Villiens were not serfs.. at least i dont think so.......??????
The czar that freed the serfs in Russia is Alexander the II.
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. Serfs were organized by a person called a reeve, who was himself a serf, appointed by the lord or elected by the body of the serfs on a manor.
They were called serfs. Since they were not slaves, it is not precise to say they were owned by the lord.
its the serfs lol or not
set serfs free and gave them land
'Peasant' is a loose term. villeins and serfs are types of peasants, and villeins are types of serfs. A peasant is simply an agricultural worker. A serf, on the other hand, is a virtual slave, being confined to a plot of land in return for protection and the right to work. Serfs are effectively the property of their lords. Villeins are renters tied to land, but are not slaves, and can leave with their lord's consent.
serfs or villeins
They're called villeins or serfs, they both have the same meanings. A serf or villein is an un-free peasant bound to a particular land and owned by their Feudal lord.
Serfs, peasants, villeins.
Villeins were serfs in the Middle Ages who worked on the land owned by the lord in exchange for protection and the right to use the land. They were responsible for cultivating crops, tending livestock, and maintaining the estate. Additionally, villeins were required to provide labor for the lord's projects and pay taxes or dues in the form of crops or goods.
They were known as serfs.
Villeins children what did they do
The villains were considered freemen among the serfs, but a subject under the king Both villains and serfs exchanged manual labor on the manors grounds for produce and rent. These conditions continued into the 15th century when tenure and free labor gained prominence.
Serfs were on about the same social level as villeins and cottars. Serfs were above slaves, if any existed in the place where the serfs lived. Serfs were not bought or sold, but they were not free to leave the land on which they lived. They were mostly agricultural workers and unusually had plots of land assigned to them to farm for their own benefit. Villeins were like serfs, but did not have plots of land assigned to them. Cottars were apparently like serfs except that they were not bound to the land and had the option of moving away, which would have been a rather risky thing to do since it would leave them without home or income, unless they had some other arrangement. The nature of the cottar is not clearly understood, however. Above the serf, but not necessarily much above, were freemen, who were not bound to the land. Most of these people worked in agriculture, but they had other types of work to do. The simpler non agricultural chores of life were performed largely by serfs. These things included cleaning, helping cooks, lugging bricks for masons, digging ditches, washing and repairing clothes, and so on. They might have included such work as weaving, baking, cooking, depending on circumstances. Clearly there were hierarchies within job types. Please see the link below.
Peasants who were bound to a manor were known as serfs or villeins. They were required to work the land and pay dues to the lord of the manor in exchange for protection and the right to live on the land. Serfs were not free to leave the manor without the lord's permission.
Nothing except they are both people. The lords owned the serfs who were slaves.
No villeins couldn't live very comfortably.
