Villein in Europe
Definition of Villein
Serf. (Latin, villanus, appertaining to a villa, or farm.) They belonged principally to lords of manors, and were either villeins regardant, that is, annexed to the manor or land, or else they were in gross, or at large, that is, annexed to the person of the lord ; thus, where a lord granted a villein regardant by deed to another person, he became a villein in gross. Villeins could not leave their lord without his permission, nor acquire any property; but they could sue anyone except their lord, and were protected against atrocious injuries by him
