A villager who belonged chiefly to the Lord of the manors.
They were either villanes regardant, annexed to the manor or
land, or they were in gross, or at large, and annexed to the
person of the Lord and transferrable by deed from one owner to
another.
They could not leave their Lord without his permission.
They held small portions of land by way of sustaining themselves and
families, but it was at the mere will of the Lord who might
dispossess them whenever he pleased.
They were employed in
such as to carry out dung, hedge and ditch the Lord's demesnes.
Their services were not only base but uncertain, both as to their
time and quantity.
A villein could not acquire property, either in land or goods, but if
he purchased either the Lord might seize them to his own use.
Children of villeins were in the same state of bondage with their
parents.
In the 12th century, it was not uncommon for a big landowner to give
one of his villeins to the monks at a local monastery.
