I would be much more interested in what a tenth century peasant had to say considering all the famous ones were the only ones whose perspectives we get to see.
The historical gaps concern the other 90% of the population.
The point still applies though. After you've revived 4 or 5 peasants, you've probably gotten most of the information you were interested in. And now you have 4 or 5 peasants who are poorly adjusted to the world they now find themselves in, and you have to take care of them for a long time. How many would you revive?
