Exempel på hur man kan använda SERFS' i en mening

• The connecting links that had existed between the peasant community and the tsar, which had been diminishing, was broken by the interposition of the serf owners; these private lords or agents of the Church or state who owned the land blocked serfs' access to the political authority.
• Carleton may derive from "carl" or "churl" (serfs') dwelling, however in the Whithorn Priory records it is recorded as "Cairiltoun", the "dwelling of the Cairils" who in 1095 it is said emigrated from Antrim to Carrick.
