A peasants Life
According to the law medieval peasants did not belong to themselves. Everything including their land, animals, homes, clothes, and even their food belonged to the lord of the manor. Known as serfs or villiens peasants were bound to work for their lord. Their lives were of almost constant toil. Most struggles to produce enough food to feed their families as well to fulfill their duties to the lord. The peasants could not leave the manor without enough money to buy a plot of land or marrying a free person. |
