Look the average lord as a work all knight grindset. You go to any manorial house, ask the lord, how many knights you got? Good luck finding someone who has less than six, and even the shlubbiest most run down castle, the lord has 2 or 3! But peasants? Oh brother! We went to 100, +ne! Hundred! Different peasant hovels and asked them how many knights they had. Every single one of them said "please sir i know the taxes are due i just need another week to bring in the harvest. That’s the difference. Lords know that if you want to get the manors you gotta have the knights, but peasants waste 20 hours a day shucking grain! Can you believe those suckers! Send twenty denars for my pamphlet on how you can get your knight time grind started using expensive vials of lourdes water and murder!
