Castle folk

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