Event
The Vornedskab
The devastating impact of the Black Death has left vast swathes of Country's farmland abandoned, as countless peasants have succumbed to the plague or fled to the relative safety and opportunities of the cities. This has caused a severe labor shortage, threatening the agricultural foundation of our economy. In response, the Nobility are pressuring the Crown to enforce Vornedskab — a system of serfdom that would bind the Commoners to the land, ensuring a stable workforce and preventing further depopulation of the countryside.

3659historical_info = flavor_dan.63.historical_info The Vornedskab was a serfdom-like institution introduced in Denmark during the late 14th century. It aimed to ensure a stable workforce for landowners after the population had diminished due to the Black Death. Under Vornedskab, peasants were bound to their birthplace and prevented from seeking better conditions or moving to cities. This practice was abolished in 1702.
