Condition of Peasantry during the mediavial period?
Answers
Placed in the last ring of the medieval feudal system were the commoners, also known as peasants. They had neither independent rights nor properties in the olden times. Most of the peasants toiled hard in the fields or worked for a manor to earn their livelihood. They were subjected to a difficult and rough lifestyle, and due to this some of them often revolted against their owners or masters.
However, not all the peasants suffered such harsh living conditions and enjoyed a few moments of respite. The historians who studied the medieval era had divided the peasant class into three specific categories namely; slaves, freemen, and serfs. Each category had some similar points and some diverse features. Some were more underprivileged, while others got some free time.
