Villeins, also known as serfs, were peasant laborers in the feudal system who were bound to the land and their lord. Their duties primarily included agricultural work, such as plowing, sowing, and harvesting crops, as well as maintaining the lord's estate. In addition to farming, they were required to pay rent, provide labor services, and give a portion of their produce to the lord. Villeins had limited rights and could not leave the land without the lord's permission.
