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 serfs follow the chivalric code?

Serfs did not typically follow the chivalric code as it was primarily a set of ideals and ethical guidelines governing the behavior of knights and nobility in medieval Europe. The chivalric code emphasized virtues such as bravery, honor, and courtly love, which were more relevant to the aristocratic class. Serfs, being peasants bound to the land and under the authority of their lords, focused more on survival and fulfilling their obligations rather than adhering to the ideals of chivalry. Thus, while they may have been influenced by the culture surrounding chivalry, serfs were not expected to embody its principles.
