In the middle ages were Peasants aloud to go out of the Kingdom at all or were they just supost to stay in the Kingdom for ever.

They were allowed to travel. Serfs, on the other hand were not allowed to leave. What you have to remember is that peasants would not have had the resources, money or time to travel often.
