The peasants of Russia and Eastern Europe more or less became serfs because they were forced into it. The nobles divided up the land and the people living on it because the serf for that feudal lord. They really didn't have a choice.
Knights were peasants' overlords. Peasants owed them service (they would farm and work for them) in return for their land. Peasants were effected by what kind of overlord the Knight was, whether he was fighting, meaning he was away, or saving up to go on crusade, meaning he might need more money.
An aristocrat parasitizing just one peasant would be a poor parasite. How much better to fleece thousands of people! If you took away all the peasants, who would grow the food? The aristocrats would have to become peasants and grow food.
It is believed that the Maya had a class society. There were slaves, peasants, craftsmen, nobility, priests, and leaders. There were also warriors. At the top were the nobles and priests. The middle class had the craftsmen, traders, and warriors. At the bottom were farmers, other workers, and slaves. -J.Martinez [08]

yes
Nobles and peasants are similar in that they are both members of a feudal society, with nobles typically holding higher social status and land ownership, while peasants work the land for sustenance. Both groups are subject to the hierarchical structure of feudalism, with nobles having more power and privileges compared to peasants. Additionally, both nobles and peasants are impacted by the economic and political systems of their time, with nobles often holding positions of authority and peasants typically having limited social mobility.
The social structure was mainly made up of the nobles, the merchants, and the peasants. The nobles were granted land by the king and they have peasants working under them. Later on there are more titles in between, like Baron, Lord, Knights, etc. The merchants are wealthier than the peasants but don't have as much power as the nobles, thus making them middle class.

Nobles lived good, and peasants lived bad. :( tss .. daa that is not a good answer.... Both had hard lives, they were affected by injures an disease however nobles had more money than peasants. peasants worked on a manor ... primarily on farming. nobles lived in castles, women made clothing and food while girls were sent to a Lady's house to learn how to manage a large household and boys were sen at the age of 8 to learn how to use a sword, an ax, a lance and learn knightly manners.
Nobles were wealthy landowners who held power and authority in feudal society, while serfs were peasants who worked the land owned by nobles in exchange for protection and security. Nobles had more privileges and rights, while serfs had limited freedom and were tied to the land they worked on.
First the king, then nobles and warriors, lastly peasants. That basically the overview of their class structure, I could go to into more detail, but it's complicated so that's just the basic structure. Hope this helped to answer your question!
