Eastern Europe
•All the factors that helped in Western Europe worked against peasantry in Eastern Europe
•Peasantry sank into serfdom
•Most peasants lost any land they owned
•Robot – (Bohemia) peasants owed 3-4 days a week to lord in forced labor. Many times more because gov’t was not centralized and lord had final say in most matters.
•Could not leave manor, marry or learn a trade without lord’s permission.
•Rural masses in total poverty and under the eye of the lord
