What were yeomen different from tenant Farmers?

Yeomen were independent landowners who farmed their own land and typically had a modest amount of property, often working with their families and sometimes employing laborers. In contrast, tenant farmers did not own the land they worked on; instead, they rented or leased land from landowners in exchange for a portion of their crops or a fixed rent. This distinction highlights the economic independence of yeomen compared to the more precarious and dependent situation of tenant farmers.
