A serf was basically a type of slave. They were generally attached to the current lord's land. If a new lord bought the land, the serfs would be considered part of it.

Servants were paid labor that were still inherently free peoples.

Some people would say slave, but that is not really correct because a slave could be sold, and a serf could not. Also, a slave had to do whatever told, but a serf simply had to fulfill obligatory duties. A villein was very like a serf, except that a villein lived in town, but a serf was agricultural. A cotter was very like a serf, but we really do not have other information on what a cotter was. It is thought that the cotter was technically free to leave the land, but this is speculation.
