Best Answer

Serfs first appeared after the Norman Conquest. Their lord gave them land and they looked after it for them and received a share to keep for themselves. Their lives were under the control of their lord; they couldn't marry without permisson or move away from their parish. They were NOT freemen but peasants under the control of a lord
