What Life Was REALLY Like for a Medieval Peasant in 1340

What was daily life really like for an ordinary person in the Middle Ages? Forget knights and castles. Most people were peasants, and their lives were stranger, harder, and sometimes funnier than you'd think. In this video we follow a medieval peasant from dawn to dusk: the house you shared with your cow, the same stew you ate for weeks, the work you owed your lord, the taxes that never ended, the surprising number of holidays, and how the Black Death changed everything in 1348.
