And, Schor notes, thanks to the influence of the church and its plethora of saints and rest days, English peasants likely didn't work more than 120-150 days a year. That's about 215-245 days off a year. pew pew fucking pew.

I think you're severely undervaluing the fact that the vast majority of the populace was routinely conscripted to go die in their kings wars throughout this time, while also being routinely inquisitioned and burned at the stake for esoterically applying concepts of the exoteric faith.
It was also backbreaking labor, but days worked only thing that matters.
