People thinking that peasants lived lives of brutal back breaking labor is perhaps on the most common misperceptions I can think of. I was guilty of it myself until I learned that premodern peasants actually had much more time off than modern peasants.

It's very true. Peasants had lots of time off. They used this time to complete tasks that we don't have today. Mostly, they went out gathering natural materials needed to produce household items/foods/medicine.

Ships normally sink one at a time. Who won the war?

Maybe. At the time, the British were very sure of their naval prowess!

My neighbor had the JP soundtrack and I would borrow it as often as possible. I also remember a close friend getting a fancy gold foil etched edition of the Star Wars movie tracks to commemorate the 20th or 25th? anniversary. So very cool

Sheep don't even protect other sheep, they just hope they aren't the one that gets eaten this time.
