Have serfs ever traveled?

Serfs in Europe were not allowed to leave the manor which they were tied to unless given permission by their lord. If they were caught leaving they were severely punished. Does this mean none of them traveled at all? Of course not and I'm sure there are instances of escape to freedom. As a whole however, serfs did not really travel. Have they "ever traveled" yeah, of course. If I could think of an instance of mass travelling serfs, at least widely, I'd think of indentured servants. While these were not serfs, they came to America and essentially became serfs who payed their passage to the Americas by working for seven years. They were pretty much slaves, just like serfs.

Could the serfs own the land that they farmed?

Serfs did not own land, and this was part of what made them serfs. Serfs were not slaves, but they were not free either. They were bound to the soil, which meant they could not legally leave the manor they lived on to live somewhere else. They did not have a right to leave, but they did have a right to farm the land. They could choose what to farm, but not where to farm. They often farmed communally, with other serfs of the same manor, but they nearly always had plots of land assigned to them for their own personal use. In exchange for giving the lord of the manor a part of their crop, they got the land, their homes, and protection. It was a system of mutual support and mutual obligation.


Freeing the serfs did what for the Russians?

In practical effects, it did nothing. Serfs were bound to the land that they worked. When Tsar Alexander II issued the Emancipation Manifesto it freed the serfs but created economic conditions that made it impractical to leave. The Russian government took land from the owners but paid them for it. Then the serfs were required to repay the government with what were called "redemption payments." Typically, redemption took about 49 years. Serfs were free to leave but if they did leave they had no land to work. Many left for the cities to work in factories instead. If former serfs wanted to own their own farms, they had to pay the redemption payments first.

What continent did serfs come from?

Nearly all serfs were born on the land where they lived, and nearly all of the Middle Ages were European. Serfs were not taken as captives and transported or sold as slaves. They were considered to be bound to the land they lived on, rather than to some feudal lord, and they neither leave the land, nor be made to leave it.
