Life of a Peasant
A detailed Summary of Life of a Peasant
When you think of the Middle Ages you think of Kings
and castles, knights in shining armor saving the princess,
and savage warfare to coincide with horrible diseases and
plagues taking lives. For the most part that was true, but
we are forgetting about the majority of the population,
otherwise known as "the commons". These people can easily be
compared to you and I living in these times. The peasants
were not a part of the noble class or associated with the
clergy, but just lived plain and simple lives and tried to
get by with what they had. In those times they did not have
a lot. Since all of us would be considered peasants in those
times, I am going to take us back to that era and compare
the life of a peasant to our lives now. From the day they
are born all the way to their death. I will go over the
different types of commoners, go over how they grew up, what
they ate, and even what they did for fun back in those days.
Childbirth in Medieval times were much of the same as
they are now. I say this in the biological way only of
course. Birth was not in the hands of a physician, but
entirely up to a midwife. The only reason there would be a
doctor there is if there was a pathological complication.
