What did peasants do for lords?

Lords provided protection and meager living quarters for the peasants. But peasants were indentured servants in the middle ages (when Feudalism was pretty much the only form of government) not because they owed debt, but simply because they were born into it. They could never work their way up the social ladder, and the only protection the lords provided was to let all the peasants into the walls of their manor house during raids, not exactly a win-win.

What is the differences between lords and peasants?

Lords and peasants represent two distinct social classes in feudal societies. Lords were typically landowners with significant power and wealth, often granted land by a monarch, and held authority over the peasants living on their land. In contrast, peasants were primarily agricultural workers who toiled the land, often in exchange for protection and a small portion of the produce. This hierarchical relationship was characterized by obligations; lords provided security and governance, while peasants offered labor and loyalty.
