    This is not historically accurate. They had 2-3 months of religious holiday where they were not working. Also every Sunday, no work.

    Don’t be an ignorant wage slave. It’s cringe.

      I can only speak for myself, but I don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays. And I don’t have any religious obligations on those days, so I’ve got them all to myself.

      So that’s almost two months worth of Saturdays and on top of that I’ve got a month of paid leave and 7 holiday days.

      Work-wise I’m not going to day we have it better or that we aren’t being exploited, but I sure know I wouldn’t want to trade places with a medieval peasant.
