    Peasants in the Middle Ages lived difficult lives, dependent on feudal lords. They were required to pay tribute to their lords and had few connections to the outside world beyond wandering merchants. Peasants wore simple, locally made clothes and mostly ate bread, porridge, and other grains. They lived in poor huts and worked long hours on their lord's lands, following a two-field crop rotation system. Their lives began to improve in the 19th century as serfdom was abolished across Europe.
