The life of medieval peasants was harsh under the Feudal System. They had to work for the lord who owned the land. There were some freemen, called tenants, who bought their freedom and only worked for their lands.
All people had to pay tithe, which was 10% of their crops, to the Catholic Church who played a significant role in medieval life. The influence of Catholic Church was great as everyone had to rest on Sunday and in holy days.
The money system used was in the form of metal coins, however they still traded with their crops and goods.
A quarter of infants in medieval times died due to disease and accidents.
Medieval peasants lived in houses made of mud, straw and manure. Their water source was usually a river or stream nearby.
