| How to play a peasant Peasants have other topics of conversation other than the turnip harvest. They’re generally just like normal people, and have an interest in religion, politics and how the war (take your pick) is progressing
Peasants believe in the Christian God, and will follow the teachings of the Bible. Whilst some may have other beliefs as well, none would ever publicly profess them. Whilst the Inquisition is not prevalent in Britain, blasphemy and heresy are still punishable. Proclaiming a belief in any God other than the Christian one is likely to lead to derision at best or prison sentences or death at worst
Peasants are generally not well travelled. Most people are born, grow up and die in the same village. They will generally not have travelled further than outside of England unless they were part of the Kings armies, or a missionary
Whilst food is scarce, most have enough to survive on. They’re not used to elaborate feasts however. A simple peasant meal would consist of breads, root vegetables, milk and cheese and a watered down beer
