another word for serf could be a peasant. but there's a difference. A serf is legally tied to the land. not literally, but if a noble or a lord had given a fief or fiefdom (Basically just a big chunk of land) to a knight, for example, because he was being loyal or some other reason, since the serf was legally tied to the land ,that serf went with the fief he was giving the knight. think of it as a car. serfs were like the tires on a car,and the fief was the rest. Can a car go without the wheels? no. so the serfs stick to the fief like tires on a car.
