A peasant was an agricultural worker. Peasants grew food and other agricultural products.
The peasants could be slaves, serfs, free tenants, or proprietors of small farms. In Western Europe, during much of the Middle Ages, most were serfs, who lived on manorial estates, and were not permitted to leave but were freer than slaves. Serfs typically worked on or two days out of each week for their lords, and much of the remainder of their time on communal labors. They also had their own small plots for their own use.
