What did they Contribute to the Feudal System?Peasants did all the grunt work. While the lords, ladies, and monarchs sat by and waited, the peasants were out working the fields, grooming the horses, and tending to the livestock.
Without peasants, there would be no workforce. The nobles and monarchs did not like to work, and considered themselves above manual labor, so the nobles and monarchs needed the peasants greatly.
What did they Receive?Peasants received protection from their lord, lady, or monarch, as well as money or land of their own.
