Feudalism and Medieval Knights

Introduction

In the Middle Ages there were three classes or 'estates ' into which everybody could be divided up :

 

  • The Church. These were the priests, bishops and monks who prayed for the people.
  • The Lords. These were the men who ruled and fought and defended the people.
  • Ordinary People. This was the great majority of folk whose job was simply to work and feed themselves and everyone else .

The Open Door Team thanks the following people for the use of images in the Medieval section. The names below link to their websites.
