In ancient Rome, peasants were commonly referred to as "plebeians." This term distinguished them from the "patricians," who were the elite class. Plebeians were the common people, including farmers, laborers, and artisans, and they played a crucial role in the economy and society of Rome. Over time, plebeians gained more rights and political representation through social struggles, particularly the Conflict of the Orders.

Were Knights allowed to kill peasants?

Knights were not simply allowed to kill peasants. I know of no secular laws that allowed this, and Church law certainly would not, unless the peasants were guilty of some crime. A country that gave knights free reign to do such a thing would have been at odds with the Church very quickly. It was allowed in ancient Rome, but even in ancient Rome, the laws had changed.
