Serfs accepted their life on the manor due to a combination of economic necessity and social structure. Many were bound to the land and relied on the lord for protection and basic sustenance, which made the stability of serfdom preferable to the uncertainties of freedom. Additionally, the feudal system was deeply ingrained in medieval society, leading to a sense of obligation and acceptance of their roles within that hierarchy. Lastly, religious beliefs often reinforced their status, promoting the idea that their circumstances were divinely ordained.
