The serfs worked for the lords and the lords gave them land and food and protection
Serfs differed from slaves in some important respects, and one of them is that they were not owned. They could not be bought or sold. They were not free because they were bound to the land they lived on and could not move away. If the owner of a manor sold it, the serfs stayed on the manor. They were not sold with the manor, but they did belong there, and the new owner could not move them off the land.
The relationship between the serf and the owner of the manor was one of mutual obligation. The serf had to work and provide a part of the crops to the lord. The lord had to provide the serf with a place to live and a plot of land to farm and protection. Buying a manor meant buying the obligation to protect the serfs who lived there.
