The prevailing view among historians is that medieval European peasants were deeply dedicated to religion . But the record keepers in medieval Europe were members of the clergy. It should not surprise us that chroniclers who were professionally occupied with religion would exaggerate people' s religious devotion.

['Many members of the clergy in medieval Europe spent more time among peasants than among people of any other social class.', 'Documents produced by clergy in medieval Europe contain detailed descriptions of participation by peasants and others in religious activities .', 'Historians cannot develop a reliable account of the religious attitudes held during any given historical period unless they have consulted all of the relevant surviving records from that period .', 'Written records produced by clergy in medieval Europe very rarely portray merchants or nobles as being dedicated to religion.']
