SERFS AND SERVANTS
lower class
The serfs and servants were the working and lowest class of the feudal system. These serfs were often mistreated because they considered in servitude which is why this system of govt is unfair because it puts excess pressure on one class.
They loved in small towns were ruled over by the vassal who was in charge of the land they worked on. They were forever bound to their manor, and could never leave. Serfs engaged in heavy labor and did all farm work. Some of their responsibilities were to raise livestock, build and care for buildings, made clothing, cut wood, etc. They received nothing for their work and did not have any rights to do anything that they wanted. They were able to become freemen/women but could not move up in the societal hierarchy.
Servants were very similar but usually worked in the house.
