Everyone was poor so they were all treated the same by the 10% who were noble. They were treated as if they needed to serve them and they expected to as well. There were no "rights" or talk of "freedom".

∙ 10y agoThere were various groups of poor people during the Middle Ages.
In the Early Middle Ages, the poorest people were slaves.
In Western Europe, the Church opposed slavery, and so it was outlawed in various places, except as a form of punishment. As this happened, a new class of people called serfs emerged. Serfs were not slaves, but were not free to move from one place to another, and had to spend their lives on the manorial estate where they were born. Slavery continued in Eastern Europe during this time, and serfdom was gradually abandoned during the Late Middle Ages.
There were other classes of people who were very poor, but were neither slaves nor serfs. Many of them were laborers who lived in cities. Others were people who traveled about looking for work or who worked in transportation as laborers.
