Villeins have lower importance than freemen, since freemen used to be villeins, but now they have partially gained some freedom from the lord of manor.

What is the difference between a villein and a freeman from the medieval times?

There are lots of differences between Freemen Villeins such as villeins had to stay on the lord's land all of their life and didn't get paid. On the other hand freemen got paid, and could own a small bit of the lord's land if they paid for it. Another difference is that Freemen were allowed to live where they wanted to. The villeins had to get permission for everything, from using the town oven to who they were allowed to marry. Were as Freemen were allowed to do things with out the lord's permission.

What is a medieval freeman?

1st AnswerA medieval freeman was a person that was given some land in return for services to the king. A freeman had fifteen strips of land in each field but in return he had to work to pay for it, help with the ploughing at harvest and help give out duties to Peasants. A freeman could leave the site without permission of the manor lord and could marry anyone, even from a different manor. Another answer:A freeman was a peasant farmer who was not bound by the manorial obligations that serfs had. He rented his land as what was called a copyholder, meaning that he had a lease. While he did not have the serf's obligations, he also did not have the serf's rights, and could be put off his farm when his lease expired. There is a link below to the section of an article on serfs dealing with freemen.

Why did some villeins become outlaws?

im new to this, but I believe some villeins became outlaws because they were in lower class, not exactly slaves, but they had to pay many taxes and give many goods to the king (or emperor). Another thing I think why is because they didn't want to be ruled by a king anymore, they chose to rule themselves and to have a chance of freedom.

Are the serfs villeins and peasants the same class in the feudelism class structure?

No, serfs, villeins, and peasants were not the same class in the feudal class structure. Serfs were laborers tied to the land, villeins were a type of unfree peasant with certain obligations to the lord, and peasants were more of a broad category of rural laborers that included both serfs and freemen.
