urbanisation in the late middle ages and early modern ages led to people going from being malnurished midgets living in hell to being literate cultured professional tradesmen eating varied healthy diet, spending money on exotic goods

having shoes to wear

even multiple shoes to wear

having actual tailored clothes

nobody needs those things

it wasn't until the late modern age and industrial revoltuion that urbanisation became the hellscape of child labour and so on

hello

they had the open country air and freedom

they had no freedom and they were burning their own shit to keep warm

they lived in rags

they mostly slept on floors if they were lucky or if not they slept in small hutches

I mean they had whatever was practical

straw beds and such

sometimes sheep wool

they largely didn't have anything

lol the delusioanl fucking shit in your head

they had whatever they made for themselves or could barter for

they didn't have spare wool much

they didn't have much livestock, all this is documented

it wasn't until serfdom ended that you had lots of work animals and so on

no, they had animals

that's a part ofwhy serfdom ended is that when agricultural enclosure happened and they could invest in work animals serfs became obsolete

Ok

i'm going to ask you a question and you're going to respond immediately, k?

the whole population of many villages wasn't really that large

you ready?

it's just a basic question on serfdom

anyone who has studied serfdom at all will be able to answer this in a few words

ready?

you haven't studied serfdom

are you ready?

GG @WP, you just advanced to level 7!

you've studied some wrong shit

are you ready?

some fake history shit

are you afraid?

you're going to be exposed for not even knowing the most basics about serf life?

running away now?

spit it out autist

name the classes of serfs

what do you even mean, there weren't necessarily universal classes
