In medieval times European peasants owned very little. Indeed the land that they worked on farming was normally not their own. They would only have owned small personal items that they could create themselves or were passed down in their family and in most cases did not even own their home. In this time period peasants were little better than slaves who worked for the benefit of the manor owner who owned the land they worked and lived on. It could even be said that a peasant truly owned nothing as they would have no rights to their own personal items if their lord chose to take them away from them. They really didn't even own themselves, as they were seen as property of their lord.
