@acerb45666555 Well, that's true, but you still had a 40% chance of not living to adulthood, so I guess it's a trade-off. I get what you're saying, though. The Middle Ages weren't full of the squalor people tend to picture. Mind, there's a (potentially) big difference between a peasant who is free, and a serf who is not.
being a peasent back then was a better living than most think. even if the nobles took alot of grain, etc, there was alot left to sell at market. and you could make and sell beer!
Wonderful interpretation!
