Added information, Category
'''Serfs''' were the lowest class in the [[Feudalism|feudal system]]. In medieval Europe, they were agricultural laborers legally bound to their lord's property and obligated to perform set services for their lord. In other words they couldn't leave the lands they were on.
In [[Russia]] some serfs worked as artisans and in factories. Serfdom was not abolished in Russia until 1861.
