In a way, yes. They were bound to the Lord's property, could not freely move from there, had to work for a number of days per week for the lord without being paid and in other ways also had very limited rights. On the other hand, they were - at least in Western Europe - not bought or sold or forcibly transported outside their region of birth. In Russia however they could be traded and transported against their will, so there they were for all practical porposes slaves.
