        A peasant is a pre-industrial agricultural laborer or farmer with limited land ownership, especially one living in the Middle Ages under feudalism and paying rent, tax, fees, or services to a landlord. In Europe, three classes of peasants existed: slave, serf, and free tenant.
      - KINGS
        
        A king (or lord) ruled large areas of land. To protect his land from invasion, the king gave parts of it to local lords, who were called vassals. In return, his vassals promised to fight to defend the king's land. Vassals ruled lands granted to them by their king.
    - - Rich people had access to better healthcare, food, clothing, housing, and much more. Poor people did farm-related jobs, such as plowing, sowing, reaping, or threshing.
      - In the Middle Ages it was fully feudal; the common people obeyed the orders of their local lord, or perhaps the rulers of the city they were living in. Today, while the common people still obey orders, the way of choosing their leaders has changed; in many places elections choose leaders.
