During the Middle Ages, most of Europe's population consisted of peasants and working-class people. While these farmers and craftspeople ranked at the bottom of the social hierarchy, their hard work made life possible in the period. Peasants and the Working Class explores what daily life was like for these workers, as well as the key roles they played in medieval society. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index.
