The SERFS, followed by the peasants.
In secular society, the order was:Royalty at the topNobilityFree people, including merchants, tradesmen, and so onSerfsand sometimes there were slavesKnights, who were usually considered to be the lowest rank of nobility.Peasants included freemen, serfs and slaves. Freemen were independent farmers. Serfs were dependents of nobles or landed gentry, to whom they owed allegiance; serfs were not entirely free, but were not slaves either. Most countries did not have slaves.
They were usually farm workers.
I believe peons, serfs and rubes are peasants. Peasants usually farm for food, some hunt, I believe. They are said to eat mostly cabbage and barley.
A serf was a peasant, but not all peasants were serfs.A peasant is usually a farmer. A peasant could be free or not, and though most were doubtless poor, we find references to well-to-do or prosperous peasants. Serfs are peasants legally bound to a lord's land, and were not allowed to move away. Serfs usually had to provide labor in exchange for a place to live and work.

Serfs and Peasants
The peasants or serfs did the farming
What work did the peasants do in medieval times
Medieval SerfsA medieval village or manor usually contained several classes of laborers, consisting of Medieval Serfs and peasants. There might be a number of freemen, who paid a fixed rent, either in money or produce, for the use of their land. Then there were Medieval Serfs who laboured in the lord's household or at work on his domain. Most of the peasants were Medieval Serfs or villeins. The other labourers were called Cottagers or small holders. Under feudalism the lords and nobles of the land had certain rights over Medieval Serfs and Peasants which included the right of jurisdiction, which gave judicial power to the nobles and lords and the right of hunting
They were called serfs. Since they were not slaves, it is not precise to say they were owned by the lord.
They had no money to travel anyway unless they walked. Were would they head? No matter where they went they still would have been a peasant.
Serfs or peasants did manual work. Most of them worked in the fields and barns of a manor. Some worked in forests, and some worked in mines. A few worked in the kitchens, doing cleaning, driving wagons, and so on.
In Medieval Times, pesants drank beer and ale.
The largest part of the feudal society are either peasants or pages. The kings and queens were usually not popular or anything. My Project Challenge class is learning about this so that's why I answer a lot of Medieval Questions. Hope my answer helped!
They lived in a small village with other peasants and serfs.
