The castle folk (Hungarian: várnép, Latin: castrenses or civis)[1] 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.
[2][3] They were peasants living in villages formed in the lands pertaining to the royal castle [4] and tilled their estates collectively.
