Question 45

One statement below about peasants in feudal society is false. Which one is it?

  1. Some peasants were free and paid rent for the land they held.
  2. Every peasant in medieval Europe was a serf.Correct answer
  3. The share of peasants who were free differed from region to region.
  4. Free peasants and unfree peasants could live in the same village.

The statement about regional variation is true, and it is the likeliest wrong pick, because pupils who have learned how widespread unfreedom was expect any statement about differences to be the false one.
