    Peasants’ work was dominantly agricultural, with some required contribution to maintenance of lands and structures around their manor.

    Each peasant worked either a family lot, or an open field directly managed by the manor.

    They may have worked at home for mending clothes and other simple tasks, but very little was a private responsibility.

    Days not committed to work could be spent for games and festivals. There were no private hobbies, but public life was quite rich.
