They would hunt deer stag , wild boar, fox, and any other wild animal that caught their fancy. Wrestling was a popular contest at events like fairs.

There were also things like bullbaiting and bearbaiting, as well as cockfighting. Paying taxes The one thing the peasant had to do in Medieval England was to pay out money in taxes or rent. He had to pay rent for his land to his lord; he had to pay a tax to the church called a tithe. Peasants also had to work for free on church land. The nobles and the clergy were largely excluded from taxation with the exception of a modest quit-rent, an ad valorem tax on land while the commoners paid disproportionately high direct taxes.

In practice, this meant mostly the peasants because many bourgeois obtained exemptions. The daily life Medieval Peasant women was hard. Most of the peasants were Medieval Serfs or Medieval Villeins. Women were expected to help their peasant husbands with their daily chores as well as attending to provisions and the cooking of daily meals and other duties customarily undertaken by women. A villein or villain represented the most common type of serf in the Middle Ages.
