What is different between knights and peasants?

Knights and peasants differ primarily in their social status and roles within the feudal system. Knights were typically members of the nobility, trained in warfare, and granted land in exchange for military service to a lord. In contrast, peasants were primarily agricultural laborers who worked the land and provided sustenance for the community, often living under the lords' protection in exchange for labor or a portion of their produce. This hierarchical structure defined their rights, privileges, and lifestyles.
