====**According to the law a peasants (also known as villians) did not belong to themselves. They belonged to the lord of manor, as did their belongings, houses, food, and even their clothes. The manor lord, in return for working for him, would give them their own piece of land. The only way for a peasant to be free was by marrying a free peasant or saving a lot of money to pay off the manor lord.**====

The peasants worked in the cotten fields or somewhere else the men had to work either building houses, cutting logs, or hard work. The women were depended on keeping the house clean and caring for the children and working on the fields. they had it hard but they managed. the peasants had it hard in the winter because of the lack of food, warmth, and working.
