The Harsh Life of a Medieval Farmer…

🏴‍☠️ Check out our new channel all about the history of the Golden Age of Piracy, Walk The Plank here:    / @walktheplank9223  

It has been argued that during the Middle Ages, up to 85% of the population were peasants. Their working day was long, hard, and extremely difficult. For some their day of backbreaking labour could begin as early as three o’clock in the morning during the summer. If you were lucky or unlucky enough (depending on your point of view) to avoid the high rate of infant mortality and the constant threat of deadly disease then as a medieval peasant farmer you had an exhausting, cruel, and short life to look forward to. Welcome to Medieval Madness.
