    Sorry but saying a 13th century high medieval peasant owned their hovel is just incorrect. Yeomen did, they owned their own land, but they didn’t live in hovels. Serfs and villeins were bound to their land, owned by a lord, and had to do uncompensated labor on the lord’s land for the “right” to live on the land they could not leave.

    Also, saying high medieval serfs paid “1/10 annual produce” completely ignores all the other feudal duties owed to their lord. Usually, serfs owed a third of their land value in produce to their lord off the peasant’s land, as well as not owning anything, while having to use the lord’s flour mill which was also heavily taxed. @[email protected] has it right.

    Never follow the money. Never follow the money. Nothing is worse than having your soul sucked out of you hour by hour because you wanted to “follow the money.”

    I’m sick and tired of this Reddit-ass kind of “advice” meant only for neurotypical white men. Male defaultism is one of many things we should not import here.
