Serfs typically did not receive a regular wage; instead, they worked the land owned by a lord in exchange for protection and the right to cultivate certain plots for their own subsistence. Their compensation was mainly in the form of food, shelter, and a small portion of the crops they produced. The specifics varied significantly by region and time period, but serfs were generally bound by obligations and had limited economic freedom.
