How many peasants were on a manor?
Not all peasants lived on manors, not all peasants were farming labourers and not all peasants even worked on land. Some peasant farm workers were employed by the monasteries as servants, shepherds, millers, ploughmen and so on, working mainly on monastic granges. They were employed by and paid by the head of the monastery (he might be a Prior or an Abbot). Many peasants lived in towns and some of these were wealthy men; craftsmen, merchants, tradesmen, minters, smiths, butchers and many more townspeople belonged to the peasant class, but many were extremely wealthy people. Some peasants worked as sailors on various types of ship; among them there were fishermen, ferrymen, merchantmen and military ships all crewed by peasants.
What do you call coureurs de bois mean in English?
coureurs de bois (kurpr' de bwa) -- French for woods runners -- unlicensed fur traders during the early French settlment in Quebec. French settlers came early to North America, following in the wake of the explorers and fur traders, creating New France, Quebec City, founded in 1608. But immigration from France was slow prior to the mid-1600s and there was a need to relocate the multitude of workmen who lacked employment in France. Many of the young men who immigrated during this time frame were engaged to serve (3 to 6 years) in New France as ploughmen, diggers, pit men, etc. (among the lowest paid people). These young men began to "seek their fortunes" engaging in the fur trade without permission from French authorities . . . i.e. coureurs de bois . . . woods runners.
Why were mouldboard ploughs more efficient in the middle age?
Medieval ploughs were made in many different ways, according to local soil conditions. The mouldboard plough was used in heavy soils such as clays and its main benefit was in turning the soil aside, producing distinctive ridges and furrows - the crops were then grown on the ridges and water could drain away into the furrows. A drawback in the design was that the wooden mouldboard could become clogged with soil, meaning that the plough was less efficient and much harder to move. Many ploughmen took along a carpenter's axe (also known as a T-axe) and hung this on the beam of the plough, just behind the oxen. It was used to clean off the mouldboard whenever it became clogged. I have a number of manuscript illustrations from the 12th century showing this axe hung on the plough-beam (in one case the ploughman carries it in his hand).
Why are there no images or drawings of street conditions in the middle ages?
In western Europe, almost all images were produced by monks living in monasteries. Their subjects were mainly Biblical or religious ones, which they populated with the people of their own time (rather than accurate depictions of people from biblical times) - so Goliath is always shown as a knight in the armour of the period, king David is shown as a medieval king and so on. Since monks had no access to towns or villages they were unlikely to depict street scenes; but they knew exactly how peasants looked because most monasteries had lay servants (peasants) who worked on the monastic granges, including shepherds, ploughmen and so on. They could accurately depict people, but not urban streets. Furthermore, monks were supposed to be cut off and secluded from the evils of the outside world, including the squalor and filth of medieval streets. There would be no benefit in recording such scenes, which had no place in the strict and regulated lives of monks.
