There's poverty in every era. Please be more specific.

This era was struck with poverty, living in huts supplied by the lord with low income.

Struck with poverty <-does that sound wrong?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Those are both wrong.

"Struck with poverty" is not correct. In addition you have a classic misplaced modifier. Certainly the lord didn't have a low income! Also the era didn't live in huts.

How about?

The majority of people lived in poverty.
