Villeins were serfs in the Middle Ages who worked on the land owned by the lord in exchange for protection and the right to use the land. They were responsible for cultivating crops, tending livestock, and maintaining the estate. Additionally, villeins were required to provide labor for the lord's projects and pay taxes or dues in the form of crops or goods.
