What was life like for peasant's during the renaissance?

During the Renaissance, life for peasants was often challenging and marked by hard labor and poverty. Most peasants worked the land, farming crops and tending to animals, often as serfs bound to the land owned by nobles. They faced heavy taxation and had limited access to education or social mobility. Despite these hardships, the period also saw some improvements in agricultural techniques and a gradual increase in trade, which offered opportunities for some to improve their circumstances.
