WE DON'T SEE THEM STAND UP TO THE NOBLES BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT BE PROTECTED BY THERE KNIGHTS ANYMORE AND THEY WOULDN'T BE SAFE
The serfs did not rise up against the nobles because they had an agreement with them, that they weren't allowed to leave. So if they got in trouble for not talking to the noble correctly, and the noble no longer liked them, they couldn't get kicked out of the kingdom because they weren't allowed to leave. So they would be in a lot of trouble, and the things they get might get cut back. They might even have been killed if the noble thought that they were threatening to them.
The serfs didn't stand up to the nobles because then they wouldn't have land to live on, protection from the king (really the knights), food to eat, and money to live of off. Also, they would be breaking their promise of staying loyal to the king if they rebelled.

I think that the serfs didn't rise up against the nobles because they didn't think of it to start with. Also, the knights would have killed them easily because the knights had armor and weapons, while the serfs had nothing. Also, if the serfs lost and weren't killed they would have nowhere to live and nothing to eat because the nobles would kick them off of the land.

Serfs didn't rise up against the nobles in the middle ages for many reasons.One reason is that serfs didn't have many rights and land but the nobles were very rich and had alot of land.If the serfs tried to rise up against the nobles they would obviously lose because the nobles are in a totally different social than them and they have more power of the serfs.Also, the nobles established their own system of justice so there was no way the nobles would rise up against them because they have no rights and no one to back them up accept themselves.The nobles had the king to back them up because the nobles gave them royalty.The serfs were in the lowest social class so they had nobody to help them rise up against the nobles.

Because the nolbles gave them food,houses and the stuff they had left over like soap and food
The serfs wouldn't rise up against the nobles in the middle ages. This is because they are in the lowest social class, so there would be no chance of them winning. They have very few rights. Also because their not allowed to leave, so if something happened it wasn't like they could stop their work and go. But if something happened like they were kicked out they would have nothing, because they have everything provided for them by the knights and their poor.

this is because the serfs heavily relied on the nobles for food housing and protection. If they were to revolt they would without many of lifes basics
The didn't stand up to the nobles because they were afraid of the nobles power over them. If they stood up for themselves, the nobles could kick them off of their land or kill them.
I think serfs didnt rise up against the nobles because if they were to fail they would not have a home anymore and they would probelly end up dieing. Also because they were probelly getting on with there lives just fine without riseing against nobles.

the serfs didnt rise against the nobles because the serf would not be protected by the knights and they wouldnt have a place to go and they wouldnt have any food if they left
The serfs didn't rise up against the nobles because the nobles provided them with land so they could grow food. Not only that, but their knights protected them from their enemies. If the serfs rebelled against the nobles, they would also be rebelling against the knights. The knights and the nobles are trained fighters, so the serfs would probably get slaughtered.

The serfs didn't rise up against the nobles in the Middle Ages for many reasons. First of all, if they did, the knights would not protect them. They wouldn't protect them because the knights primarily are loyal to the nobles, not the serfs. Also, if the serfs stood up to the nobles, they would probably be killed. In conclusion, the serfs didn't stand up to the nobles for many well thought out reasons.
Serfs didn't rise up against the nobles because the nobles could take away the few rights that the had such as a house and protection. They would also not be loyal like they said they were going to be.
This is Conner Traugot and I don't know why it says the.
They didn't rebel because they had no where else to go. They were protected and sheltered with the nobles and they had no knowledge of anywhere else they would be accepted in.
They didn't rebel because they depended on the nobles to give them many neccisary things like a home and food. Serfs are also not allowed to leave the kingdom, so if they stood up to them they'd likely be killed or punnished. If they tried to be violent, they were much weaker than the knights so they would probably be killed easily.

The serfs couldn't leave their land and the nobles were their source of protection.
The serfs didn't rise up against the nobles in the Middle Ages because they agreed to never leave. Besides, if they tried to stand up to the nobles and leave, they wouldn't be able to live anywhere, they would have no money or food and the king would no longer be protecting them. So basically they wouldn't survive much longer if they tried to stand up to a noble if they weren't killed first.
