One thing you could bet with assurance is that medieval peasants did not have tea. For supper, they probably had porridge or stew and bread.
Peasants back in the medieval times lived in huts that they built out of whatever they could get. Example: sticks, wood, bark, etc. I hope that I could help :)
They had games, dancing, feasts, music, and other things they could find to have a good time.

No, Im pretty sure only the people who could afford it, peasants would have to go without!
In medieval times, a peasant was someone of the lower economical class. They could either be free peasants, working and purchasing their own home and food, or they could choose to work at a royal household. There, they were legally considered part of the property - they were slaves. But being part of the royal household had advantages. The peasants were given housing and a small patch of earth for farming their own food. They could live with their families, and they were protected in times of war. Often, peasants chose this lifestyle.
I think I know... Most peasants were serfs; people who worked for the king a few days but the rest could do whatever they need. I was trying to get this answer for my Ch. 6 history study guide Medieval Europe.
Most medieval peasants were poor. In fact, most were serfs, who could not own land and were not allowed to move away from the manors on which they lived. A few peasants were independent farmers who held their own land, and some of these were referred to by contemporary writers as wealthy. They were, of course only wealthy relative to other peasants, and had very little wealth compared to the lords.
By the 1700's there were no peasants in Europe. It was a different world.__Nonsense. There were many peasants in Europe during that period.The link below describes what you are looking for. The background is appauling and makes it a little hard to read, but it has all the information you are looking for. In a nutshell, life for any peasant could be harsh. However, as time progressed, peasants in Eastern Europe experienced a much more brutal life. There was an enforced lifestyle - basically the peasants were still owned by the landowner and he could behave as he wished:In eastern Europe during the seventeenth century the rights of the peasants were taken away. As a labor shortage swept eastern Europe workers became a necessity and as a result the movement of peasants was restricted. Peasants lost their land and were forced into more obligations for their lords. Between 1500 and 1650 conditions worsened and serfs could be killed for nothing
Because cooked foods are easier to digest, and can be kept longer than raw foods.
A medieval jester lived during the Middle Ages, from about A.D. 500 until about A.D. 1500. The jester was the court's professional clown. That court could be the royal court of one of the European monarchs. Or it could be the noble court of one of the particular European country's leading influential, wealthy families.
Medieval Lords were important to society because they employed poor peasants. They also charged tax for the land which people lived on so they could receive money. They were also important to the King as he made them Lords. They provided jobs and homes for many poor people.
