1. villeinage

   Villeinage was a form of socio-economic status during the feudal system predominantly in medieval Europe. It referred to a condition where a person, known as a villein, was bound to a piece of land and to the land's owner, lord, or vassal - generally bound to provide services, such as agriculture or labor, in return for protection and the right to work on the land. It was a form of serfdom and was lesser in status than free tenants. The condition of villeins varied across regions and was often hereditary.
