It occurred to me while standing on top of the ruins of the Les Baux chateau that there must have been a lot of exhausted peasants in the Middle Ages with all that trekking up and down from the fields to the village.
The consolation I guess was the ability to throw flaming projectiles at enemies; and a lump of bread every day or so for your efforts in dragging food from the fields to the chateau. If you were lucky.
No wonder they pillaged the rich guy's castle for building materials after the revolution.
