Life+of+a+Peasant

By: Ryan WHAT ARE PEASANTS  Have you ever wondered about the life of a peasant in the Middle Ages? Then you have  come to the right site. As you can see peasants are poor people that lived in the medieval times with a very harsh life. They wear clothing that hasn’t been washed for weeks. They had to give their last gold, sliver, and bronze to pay the taxes.  DAILY LIFE OF A PEASANT First the men start the day with a quick breakfast (homemade bread and ale). Then they go off to work. Their jobs would be as farmers, millers, blacksmiths, and tavern owners. While the men would be working very hard with their drudgery obligation, the women would be also working very hard too, with their house work. They would be cooking, weaving baskets, washing clothes (washes about 4 times a month) or teaching their daughter how to do all those things.  WHAT PEASANTS EAT Peasants had a very hard time surviving (not just at winter).The peasants’ main food were salads, dark breads, porridges, an occasional fish, cheese curds, beer, ale, or meads.
