Why Were Serfs Bound to the Land in Manorialism?
š” The Answer
- Serfs were legally considered part of the manor, attached to the soil they worked.
- They could not leave without the lord's permission, ensuring a stable labor force.
- This obligation was hereditary; children of serfs inherited the same status.
- Binding serfs prevented labor shortages and maintained the lord's economic control.
