Except, no?

Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

It was a cheap way to keep them from violently revolting. Even then, it didn’t always work.

Speaking of violent revolt against an oppressive system, where are we at?

Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

Holidays meant “you don’t have to work for the lord who owns your land”, but since they were subsistence farmers in the middle ages, that meant they still had to tend the animals and do the work on their own plots. They were absolutely still working during their “holidays”.

  It is not the work but the pay…and the lord is always in the way.

Why does everyone think “ancestors” means medieval? The people I never met in the 1800s are ancestors too. So “Um ahkchually” right back at ya
