Question

What was the serf's place on the manor?

a. next to a noble
b. above a franklin
c. attended to a knight
d. peasant, lowest class

Answer 1

The answer is D because a serf is a peasant, or farmer that has to pay taxes and practically has no rights under the law. 95% of the English population in the 1400s were serfs.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D “peasant, lowest class”

A serf was usually low on the totem pole on the manor. They worked the land of their lord or lady. They were usually worked to death and not considered equal to the lord. They were not paid; their money went straight to the lord who looks after them. Some were considered them slaved.
