A free peasantry anywhere, not just in the Byzantine Empire, was apeasantrynotsubjectedtoserfdom. Generally peasants are small farmers who produce just enough to supply their own family. In Late Antiquity and in the Middle Ages, most peasants were serfs tied to their lords. They were not allowed to leave their villages, had to give a share of their crop to the lord, spend acertainamount of time working in his fields and give himlivestocktributes. A free peasant was a peasant who was not subjected to these kings ofobligations. Usually he was a tenantfarmer.
