Serfs were bound to the land they worked on and had limited freedom, often owed labor or services to the landowner, while tenant farmers rented land and paid rent in exchange for the use of the land to cultivate crops or raise livestock. Serfs were tied to the land for generations, whereas tenant farmers had more flexibility and could move to different land or properties.
Lords were wealthy landowners who granted land to knights in exchange for military service and loyalty. Knights, in turn, provided protection to the lord and his lands, as well as overseeing the serfs who worked the land. Serfs were peasants who worked the land and were bound to it, owing labor and produce to the lord in exchange for protection and the right to live on the land.
A freeman was a person who was not bound to the land or obligated to provide labor to a lord, while a serf was a person who was bound to the land and required to provide labor to a lord in exchange for protection. Freemen had more freedom and autonomy compared to serfs who had limited rights and mobility.
False. Serfs were legally bound to a certain piece of land and obligated to work for the lord who owned that land, but they were not considered slaves as they were not owned by the lord and did have some legal rights and protections.
Knights were responsible for protecting the serfs and the land they lived on from invading forces. They also collected taxes and ensured order and justice within their domain. Additionally, knights may have provided some basic services and resources to the serfs in exchange for their labor on the land.
Serfs were not allowed to leave the manor without permission from their lord, marry without their lord's approval, or pursue a different occupation than the one assigned to them.
The Lord of the manors soldiers and guards.
Explain the difference between the vassals and the serfs
tenant farmers Serfdom was abolished in 1861 by Tsar Nicholas I. This was not true abolition, because the Russian government took some land away from the owners and compensated them for it. The former serfs were then responsible to repay the government for the compensation paid. This was commonly done over a 49 year period and the former serfs would not own their own land until the full amount of the debt was repaid. In all practicality, the "freed" serfs were still bound to the land because they had no where else to go to effectively make a living. In that sense, they were very much like the tenant farmers the original answerer states they were.
Blacksmiths usually married the daughters of serfs, tenant farmers, yeomen, merchants who were not wealthy, or other craftsmen. T

A serf farms land that belongs to another, is able to retain some of his crop, and is legally bound to the land. He cannot leave for a better piece of land or a better job. A tenant farmer farms land that belongs to another under a rental or lease arrangement. He pays the land owner for the right to farm, usually with a portion of the crop. In theory he has the right to leave and farm elsewhere, or take a job in town. In practice, tenant farmers were sometime do deeply in debt to their land owners that they could not leave because the local law considered leaving as the same as running out on the debt. Then a tenant farmer was not much different from a serf.
The feudal system was imposed on serfs (poor farmers) by Princes: the wealthy nobility.
