I WILL MARK BRAINIEST ASAP 100 POINTS Question 3 You’ve just received a request to settle a dispute between some peasants and nobles in England. It seems the peasants want to be paid for their work. The nobles, on the other hand, think things are getting out of control. Your first step is to read some evidence from a guy named Jean Froissart.

Here is how your conversation goes: You: Is it really true that you don’t get paid at all right now? Peasants: Yeah. It’s part of the old system of feudalism.
