You forgot about one more system. When males were castrated and females sold into harmes. Every year, for decades. Tatars were raiding my country and kidnapping people for slavery. Those who were deemed unfit for being sold were killed in place. Women were sold as sex slaves, males were often castrated, sold to galleys or mines were they died etc. Occassionaly some slaves could get into stellar careers, but they were still slaves and most of them got the worst possible life.
