How could a Medieval peasant become wealthy and powerful?
Post Body

Hello all, I’m doing some research for a fictional book I’m writing and want to make it accurate in terms of history. Essentially it’s set in 15th century Scotland, centered around a boy born into poverty who later becomes a witch (based around historical accounts of witchcraft) and eventually climbs his way up into a position of power through manipulation and whatnot. It’s really a small but integral part of the plot. I know wealth and power back then was really a hereditary thing, but is there anyway someone like that could climb to hold such a position realistically?
