Very poorly. They were a tenant farmer for the Lord (landlord) and all of their labor went to him. They had small houses that were wattle and daub ( straw, mud, and other things mixed). The house was one room with a fireplace, door, and may or may not have a window. Furniture was sparse. They worked from sunup to sundown and had very few days off a year ( there were 8 holidays in medieval Europe and they all centered around the church). If they were lucky they had a small strip of land to grow a few vegetables for their own table or to sell to make extra money. They usually were not able to hunt since the land was closed to hunting without permission of the Lord. If caught they could be put to death or in prison. The peasant was heavily taxed and there was a death tax that had to be paid when they died. Life was hard for them.
Seriously though, they had no free time. Work, work, work. Except Sunday. The Medieval Peasant attended Mass (if it's pre-Reformation) or a Protestant Service (post-Reformation). Then, if they were lucky, the Pope called a Crusade, and they went off to fight for the glory of God and more than likely die of scurvy on the way there.
