I believe false if you research villein it comes up with : a feudal tenant entirely subject to a lord or manor to whom he paid dues and services in return for land

True

At the very least the villeins were granted land, even though they were subject to the lords under feudal law. They still had more power than serfs, who had almost nothing.
