Answer 5

Estate System – the stratification system of medieval Europe, consisting of three groups or ESTATES:

a) Nobility – the wealthy and powerful families that ruled the country and owned the land; the nobility did no farming or any other work—having an occupation was considered beneath their dignity (THIS IS TOTALLY ME >.>)

b) Clergy – the Roman Catholic Church was a political power at this time, owning vast tracts of land and collecting taxes from commoners; the church sold offices, and the wealthy could buy positions

c) Serfs – the commoners, including farmers, carpenters, harnessmakers, and servants. It was extremely rare for a person to move out of this estate.
