Best Answer

Most of the people who lived in medieval villages were peasant farmers and the members of their families.

In many places the distinction between a village and a hamlet was that the village was big enough to have its own church. So typically, a village had a priest.

A village was likely to have a baker, because most people did not bake their own bread. The ovens were too expensive for an ordinary person to have, so there would be one for the entire village.

Many villages had mills, so there was a miller and his family. In some villages, the miller and the baker were the same person or married couple.

The village might have a blacksmith. There could be a potter, weavers, fishers and so on.

There was often a manor house, with the landlord's family and the servants.

One thing a village would not have was a market place. So a village would not have merchants.

Would a medieval Queen live in a village or a town?

A medieval queen usually would have lived in a palace, which was in a city in most places, or in a palatial country manor, which certainly would have been near either a village or a town, just to support the servants. Sometimes, a queen would have lived in a castle, but this would have been unusual and probably temporary, except in times of unrest such as the years after the Norman Conquest or the Anarchy. There is a link below to an article on palaces.
