In medieval England, a freeman of the lowest rank was often referred to as a "villein" or "bondman." These individuals were not serfs, as they had certain legal rights and were not bound to a lord's land. Villeins typically owned small plots of land and had more freedom than serfs, but they still had obligations to their lords, such as labor and payment of rents. Despite their status, they enjoyed more autonomy compared to those in the lowest social classes.
