Résumé

The Medieval Peasantry and Rural Society: Economy and Life under Feudalism offers a vivid and comprehensive exploration of the everyday lives, struggles, and resilience of Europe's rural majority during the Middle Ages. Far beyond dusty history, this book brings to life the peasants who tilled the soil, navigated complex social hierarchies, and shaped the very foundations of medieval society. Tracing the evolution of the manorial system, peasant status, labor obligations, and agrarian innovations, this volume reveals how ordinary people sustained an entire civilization amid the challenges of famine, plague, and war.
Through detailed analysis of legal codes, manorial records, and first-hand chronicles, the book uncovers the dynamic tensions between lord and tenant, the rhythms of rural production, and the communities that provided support and solidarity. Readers will discover how peasants-far from being powerless victims-negotiated their rights, resisted oppression, and adapted to profound economic and social transformations that ultimately paved the way for modern Europe.
From the grit of daily subsistence to landmark revolts that shook kingdoms, this book offers a gripping narrative infused with deep scholarly insight, making medieval rural history accessible and compelling for both specialists and general readers. Whether you are fascinated by social history, economics, or the human stories behind historical change, The Medieval Peasantry and Rural Society sheds new light on the enduring legacy of the medieval countryside and the people who made it thrive.
