Sign in to saveSerfdom was a condition of debt bondage and indentured servitude with similarities to and differences from slavery. It developed during late antiquity and the Early Middle Ages in Europe and lasted in some countries until the mid-19th century and became the status of many peasants under feudalism, specifically relating to manorialism and similar systems.
Serfdom was a system in medieval and early modern Europe where peasants were bound to the land they worked and owed services to a local lord, occupying a status between free people and slaves. It matters historically because it structured society and economics across Europe for centuries, shaping the lives of millions of people until its abolition in various countries as recently as the 1800s.
