    Peasants engaged primarily in agricultural labor, and there are significant parts of the year where there is no productive agricultural work to be done. While other trades and crafts existed (cobblers, tanners, blacksmiths, tailors, physicians, carpenters, masons, etc) they were an insignificant portion of the total economic landscape.
