I don't think so, afaik a ceorl was a freeman. The Doomsday book classes were Freemen 12%, Villiens 38%, Cottars/Bordars 32% and slaves 9%. The Freemen was not bound the soil the way the Villiens and Cottars/Bordars were, and didn't need permission from the lord to do things like marry off a daughter, put a son into preisthood to sell an animal. He had to bear arms even in Norman England, and could appeal to the Kings court. While Villiens often had similar land and comparable livilhood to a Freeman, they had to ask permission and pay a fee to do these things, couldn't bear arms or appeal to the Kings court.
I was probably being too harsh comparing serfs to slaves, but certainly the Cottars/Bordars were low status people with little chioce but do the lords bidding. Was there a class of people in the AS society similar to serfs, not free but not fully enslaved?
