The Medieval Peasantry and Rural Society: Economy and Life under Feudalism offers a vivid and comprehensive exploration of the everyday lives, struggles, and resilience of Europe's rural majority during the Middle Ages.

From the grit of daily subsistence to landmark revolts that shook kingdoms, this book offers a gripping narrative infused with deep scholarly insight, making medieval rural history accessible and compelling for both specialists and general readers. Whether you are fascinated by social history, economics, or the human stories behind historical change, The Medieval Peasantry and Rural Society sheds new light on the enduring legacy of the medieval countryside and the people who made it thrive.
