A serf was a peasant, but not all peasants were serfs.

A peasant is usually a farmer. A peasant could be free or not, and though most were doubtless poor, we find references to well-to-do or prosperous peasants.

Serfs are peasants legally bound to a lord's land, and were not allowed to move away. Serfs usually had to provide labor in exchange for a place to live and work.

Well i believe serfs are better then peasants because most peasants were free and were not tied down the the land they lived on while serfs had to stick to the land and obey the king
