Medieval England In Medieval England life wasn’t exactly what you would call easy, people got it hard especially the non-wealthy. The wealthy had it easier than the poor because they never had to do work, they had slaves to do all their work for them. Because the poorer people had to do work, it made them more exposed to all the diseases which is why so many of them died. The People of Medieval England lived in houses which had no ventilation and straw roofs. They were extremely un-hygienic
