A quick definition of culvertage:

Term: Culvertage

Definition: Culvertage is a word used in history to describe two things. Firstly, it refers to the status of villeinage, which means being a serf or a peasant who is bound to work on a lord's land. Secondly, it refers to the condition of being reduced to villeinage or serfdom by forfeiture and degradation. In simpler terms, culvertage means being a peasant who is forced to work for a lord and has no freedom or rights.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Culvertage is a historical term that refers to two things:

  1. The status of being a villein, which means being a peasant who is bound to work on a lord's land and cannot leave without permission.
  2. The condition of becoming a villein or serf through punishment or degradation.

Examples:

  • John was born into culvertage, which meant he had to work on the lord's land and couldn't leave without permission.
  • After stealing from the lord, William was punished by being put into culvertage, which meant he lost his freedom and became a villein.

These examples show how culvertage was a way of controlling peasants and punishing those who broke the law. It was a form of bondage that limited a person's freedom and forced them to work for someone else.
