Sorry, I can't fit that with what you wrote earlier: "12 hrs/7 days per week to not die from hunger".

Those peasants payed taxes, i.e. some of their work was exploited by an army or a priest rather than hunger, and as you mention, they did not work "12 hrs/7 days per week".

Do you have a better example?
