Serfs, on the other hand, essentially belonged to their lord. They worked six days a week farming the lord’s lands. In return, they received a small plot of land to farm and build a house on. They could not leave the manor or marry without the lord’s permission. They paid taxes to the lord and a tithe to the priest.
