There were a lot of bad things about being a serf in the Middle Ages. Serfs could not leave their master's land, and they had to have permission to marry, own land, and sell items. They worked land in harsh conditions. They also had no healers who would help, so many died. Serfs could not leave, but some ran away.

How was trade in the middle ages in Europe?

Travel was very dangerous during the middle ages, because of limited technology (sailing ships are not nearly as reliable as modern ships that have engines) and because of general political chaos; travellers were often attacked. In addition, productivity was low, and most people only produced what they needed to support themselves as subsistence farmers, and therefore had nothing to trade anyway. The majority of the products currently being traded in the 21st century had not even been invented, or had not been commercially developed in the middle ages. Petroleum, currently the most valuable commodity in terms of international trade, was not traded or used during the middle ages; no one had yet invented a use for it.
