In medieval times, peasants made up around 80% of the European population. But what was the life of a peasant in the Middle Ages really like? Under the feudal system, was it backbreaking labor on the land, on behalf of a local lord? What did it really mean to be a peasant? And how was it different from being a serf?
In the first episode of Going Medieval, Dr. Eleanor Janega visits Denny Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery in Cambridge to explore the lives of those who dedicated their lives to working the land.
