Yes, instead we have gangrene, leptospirosis, trepanning, faith healing, no education unless you're clergy, forced labor for 95% of the population, a life expectancy of 40 if you're lucky... Oh, and taxes! still got those. Have to pay for Richard's crusade, you know. Congratulations on being conscripted as a peasant spearman, now get back up and stand in line with the rest of the fodder.

In the middle ages you didn't file taxes. You paid whatever your lord's tax man said you owe when he showed up at your door with his goons. And the amount he demanded might not be related in any way to the king's or even your lord's laws.

Pretty sure filing taxes (taking all of 5 minutes) is a heck of a lot simpler for me than for any medieval peasant or minor nobility.

"Anyway, back to tenant farming so you can deliver wheat to the lord who owns your farm and therefore your family. Don't forget to tithe!"
