How much Peasants get Paid  Peasants don’t get paid a lot of money like some people in the Renaissance. They get a pennies every day before the black death. After the black death they got 3 pennies a day

The Peasants Owners  All the peasants worked to support their lord. They gave about half their time to work in their fields, cut timber, haul water, spin and weave, repair his buildings, and wait upon his household. In war, the men had to fight at his side. Besides labor, peasants had to pay taxes to their lord in money or produce. They had to give a tithe to the church--every tenth egg, sheaf of wheat, lamb, chicken, and all other animals.’’

Peasants Houses  Cruck houses were not big but repairs were quite cheap and easy to do. The roofs were thatched. They would have little furniture. The houses are likely to have been hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Each family lived in a dark, dank hut made of wood or wicker daubed with mud and thatched with straw or rushes.” te.co.uk/medieval_peasants. htm
