The Middle Ages Suck

    I am reading about the Middle Ages and I found out that it wasn't that pleasant for the peasants also called serfs. There was the Feudalism Pyramid which always had the towns people on the bottom. The towns people had to work the land and the crops every day for a Lord and not themselves and only had eight weeks out of the year that were completely free from work. They got the holidays off but still! On top of that there was tax collectors that bilked the money out of them. What if a villager got sick? Would they have the money for medicine? To sum it up, you wouldn't want to live in the Middle Ages if you were an average joe.
