How did the way of life, rights and obligations of the class of peasants differ from the way of life

How did the way of life, rights and obligations of the class of peasants differ from the way of life, rights and obligations of the rest of the population of Western Europe (it turns out knights-feudal lords)? Why did the peasants for a long time remain in a powerless position?

The fact that the peasants had less rights, and literally belonged to the feudal lords, as they were their slaves. They paid tribute and had to give part of their booty, labor, etc., to the feudal lord as the owner (for example, if the peasant went hunting, he had to bring the booty to the feudal lord). The feudal knights defended everyone, and the peasants, one might say, fed everyone with their labor.
Because they were less in status of the feudal lords and were tied together with the scale of the land owned by the feudal lords.
