Peasant

The backbone of any feudal economy. They are illiterate, they smell funny, they toil all day in the mud growing crops on small plots of land, they live in cramped little shacks made of sticks and horse crap, had very little money and were generally treated like crap by their superiors and often had to worry about armies marching through and stealing all their crops and livestock and murdering them for the lulz. Thus was life before the Industrial Revolution for 80% of the population and most of your ancestors. Thank god for James Watt.
