You wouldn't even have a noble against a peasant in such a case.  It  
would be the noble who harmed the peasant against the "owner" of that  
peasant.  If they were his own peasants, no one could touch him.

But word would get around, and peasants with a choice (not that there  
were many, but there were some) would be more likely to want to live  
under the ruler of Lord Enlightened who treats his peasants like  
prize plough-horses than Lord Cruel who treats them like the dog that  
just bit your leg.
