Serfs were required to work the lord's land for food, as well as taxes and manor labor. The lord was a general governor of his people, set to protect the serfs and settle disputes between them.
a villein is someone who would have to work for the lord of the manor 40 days for free. but that changed after the plague. mst of the town would have been villeins
The two classes of the early, or dark, middle ages manorial system would be the lord and peasant. Feel free to copy this answer, I don't care.
Under the feudal system no lords owned any land; they simply held it legally from the king or from the Church (the only two landowners). In return they owed military service and financial debts.Naturally nobles did not wish to farm the land themselves so they gave the peasant workforce the right to hold certain sections of it in return for working on the lord's own farmland (known as the demesne). But legally the lord/knight/nobleman/abbot (or whoever the landholder was) had absolute power over all the lands, villages, peasants and produce on the lands he held.A landholder would hold many manors, scattered around the country; together these holdings were called an honour.
First off it's villein. They would work the Lord of the Manor's land. A villein and his family would have a little bit of land for themselves too. If you were a villein, you were at the bottom of the feudal system; it would be very hard for a villein to move up the system.

The peasant would grow the Lord's food, he would cook the lord's food, he would take care of his livestock,he would do the tailoring, he would have a whole list of chores that he had to do for the Lord.

The manor house was the home of the lord of the manor. Peasant children did not get much opportunity to go into the manor house.
relics of feudalism
People in the middle ages who were of the peasant class were focused on survival. They were loyal to the king and to the lord of their manor.
Serfs
A peasant, also known as a baron could be free from their Lord's manor by escaping from the manor and going wthout being seen or caught. But they had to be unseen or uncaught for one year and one day, after that they were free to do whatever they wanted to. hope this helped!
