Lords had the duty to provide protection and justice to their serfs. They were responsible for maintaining Law and Order in their territories, ensuring that serfs were safe and not subject to external threats or violence. Additionally, lords were expected to provide basic necessities such as food, shelter, and protection during times of conflict or hardship.

Why did lords free their serfs?

The relationship between lords and serfs was not the same as the relationship between owners and slaves. The lords and the serfs had duties and obligations to each other. That being the case, there were times, such as when there were too many serfs for the lands the manor had, when it was in a lord's economic best interest to free serfs who wanted to be freed. Some of the serfs would be likely to want to leave and others want to stay and not have to deal with the insecurity of not having a place to live. At other times, such as after the Black Death, lords who did not have enough serfs would try to entice those of other lords away from them. In such a case they offered a better deal, which might have included their not being serfs any more. Serfs who wanted to could sometimes make themselves free by leaving the manor and staying away for over a year. Strangely enough this was the law in some places.
