They were called serfs. Since they were not slaves, it is not precise to say they were owned by the lord.

How are serfs and peasants alike?

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES: Serfs were unfree peasants, and peasants are free and unfree. They are alike because they were both grouped together. They both lived on a lord's land. They both paid taxes. Serfs were owned by a lord, and a "free" peasant rented a lord's land, paying in crops. EXTRA (just a little more info): A free peasant usually owned very little. The wealthier peasants owned a few pots and a bedstand. They rented part of a lord's land and usually shared it w/ other families. The homes were cottages w/ one or two rooms in them. Serfs were "owned" by a lord and paid heavy taxes, even though the lord owned them. They tended fields and gave the crops they harvested to the lord. They had a small patch of field for their own crops. BIBLIOGRAPHY (I can't take all of the credit, you know) please see the link below, and History Alive the Medieval World and Beyond
