In
the summertime, there was much more work. What work did peasants do then?
............................
..........................
................................
There was so much work that they had to get up at sunrise and go to bed
at sundown. Peasants did the work of many people not just for themselves but for the
knights also.
Peasants had to give the king and his knights part of their crop in
return for the right to live on their land. Peasants also had to work their masters' land
first, and
only then could they work their own
land.......................................................................................
