People generally lived in small towns and villages and 90% made their living off the land. They would divide the land into strips and each person took care of their own, but they also bartered and shared with their neighbors. The average person ate very little beef, but fish was a common food as well as vegetables/fruits that were grown. They would hunt, but in the kings forest they could only hunt small game. The nobles were much better off and collected taxes from the common man (there was even a death tax) and spent most of their day practicing war games. The world was a rather stinky place since people threw their garbage out of windows and there were all kinds of feces of man and animal. Urine was collected for all sorts of things like to dye wool. Those that didn't farm had jobs of tinker, tailor, plowman, cobbler, cooper, or worked for the noble and his family. Transportation was mainly by foot, but they also used boats and horses. One particular breed of horse was used because it had a gait that was different from other horses and could travel long distances. If a person did travel they did have to be in by nightfall. Strangers passing through an area would stay at an inn while the village people went to the tavern. It was very dangerous at night and to move around an area required a person to know the landscape because there was no light and there were highway men in the woods.
