Peasants faced a number of dangers in the Middle Ages. Specifically, medical science was in its infancy in Europe, so peasants usually only lived until their thirties. Additionally, peasants had very little food and water, so they were under the threat of starvation or severe undernourishment.

Sickness and pollution were both dangers of medieval times because people generally didn't take baths and dumped their toilet liquids out the windows. Of course warfare was also a danger, as always it has been. The biggest threat of the middle ages was the black plague.

Were the Tudors in the Middle ages?

The Middle Ages were coming to an end just about the time the Tudors were gaining power. Owen Tudor was clearly a man of the Middle Ages. His grandson, King Henry VII, is the man I think of as the first Renaissance King of England. In fact, if you look at the coins minted in England during the Late Middle Ages, each king's portrait on the pennies looks exactly like the previous king's, and all were face on. King Henry VII had the same portrait on his early coins, but his later coins had a realistic profile, which was quite obviously Renaissance art...


Why did people move to cities and away from manors during the middle ages?

Most didn't, or didn't have the opportunity. Cities were generally free of seigneurial burdens, and urban residence often released peasants of their obligations to their lord, sometimes after a year and a day, though newcomers might face a new range of obstacles, for instance in entering trade. "Stadtluft macht frei", ran a German saying: "City air makes you free".


What did hardships did peasants face in medieval times?

Life was hard for them. They not only worked for their rent, but had to pay taxes as well. They were expected to give their labor and time to the lord of the manor as well as fight his wars. They were very poor.


When did the dark ages begin in Europe?

It might be safest to say the Dark Ages lasted from the 5th century to the 10th century. The term Dark Ages is not really clearly defined, and in fact has fallen from use quite a bit. Originally, the idea of an age of obscurity was used to describe the period after the fall of the West Roman Empire. At the time the concept of Dark Ages was first described, in about 1330, the Renaissance had not yet started, and the writer, Petrarch, regarded himself as living in the dark ages. Later writers regarded the Dark Ages as the time from the fall of the West Roman Empire to the Renaissance, and so dated them identically with the Middle Ages, from the 5th century to the 15th. During the 19th century, historians came to understand the the Middle Ages had a lot going on, too much to be called Dark, in the sense of decline or decay. They began to make the time equal to those parts of the Middle Ages when there was little written, meaning the time of the 5th through 10th centuries. This idea had already been around for some time. Under this scheme, the Middle Ages were between the Dark Ages and the Renaissance. The idea that the Carolingian Renaissance and Macedonian Renaissance, with their growth of culture and education, happened during a time of decay and decline, seems to fly in the face of logic. So many historians refer to the time from the 5th to 10th centuries as the Early Middle Ages instead of Dark Ages. Under this scheme, the term is not used at all. There have been people who had different, specific ideas of what the Dark Ages were.
