Best Answer

There was very little leisure time in the middle ages. The middle ages was a time of survival and people had to work to get food, shelter, to stay warm, to stay dry and not get sick. Most people never left the village they were born in. The only people who had any leisure would have been the nobles. The average life span was 40 years old and most people died younger either by disease, war, or accidents/murder. The world of that time was totally different than ours and to think it was the same is a mistake. It was dirty with rotten food, no electricity, medicine was unknown and the church determined how people lived. They taught that man was born with sin and that they had to spend their life repenting to go to heaven.
