Castle folk (Kingdom of Hungary)
The castle folk (Hungarian: várnép, Latin: castrenses or civis)[1] formed a class of freemen who were obliged to provide well-specified services to a royal castle and its ispán, or count, in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary.[2][3] They were peasants living in villages formed in the lands pertaining to the royal castle.[4] They tilled their estates collectively.[4]
