In medieval times, most agricultural workers were serfs. They were bound to their lands, meaning that they were not exactly slaves, but they were not allowed to move away from their homes. They were given plots of land to tend, and there were plots of land worked by the serfs in a community as a group. They were not paid, for the most part, but got the food they grew, protection, and a place to live.
A legal conflict between a serf living on a manor with another serf is resolved by the Lord of the Manor or by a court system of sherriffs and bailiffs. Before this, conflicts were settled through parties beating each other.

Peasant/serf
The plural of the word "serf" is "serfs."

I doubt that they thought about the serf one way or the other. The serf was to do the work and didn't require much thought from his master.
It is probably safe to say that anyone who was a serf was also poor.
