The Three Orders

      The medieval society was defined by three groups of people. The highest ranked group of people was the people who prayed. They had the same rights and privileges as the lords. They had this honor not only because they came from the same families as the lords, but for many other reasons too. One reason is they had much in common with the lords.  How cool would that be, you get to be on top just because of your last name. As educated men clergy sometimes served at court. I know that most adults hate jury duty, but I look forward to it. I think it would be fun to try to piece together the mysteries of many problems that people have. To create the name as the people who prayed their was much bickering. Finally in the end, they came together as one and decided that they would be known as the people who prayed.
            The second group of people is known as the people who fought. This was the warrior class. I’m glad that I want part of the warrior class. I don’t know about you but war and armies scare me. I know their must to be some conflict in this world, but why to we have to go to bombing dispute. I would rather have written dispute. The people who fought were brave knights and warriors. They could go day and night with no sleep. Everyone in that class really knew what it means to “fight to the finish”.
            The final and least wealthy class is the people who worked. Although they worked the hardest out of all the subjects in the city they were still treated with the most disrespect. Sometimes when I see people of two different classes and the higher class person putting down the lower class person I switch them in my mind and when I do, the higher class person never survives in the lower class persons spot. The people who worked were the most numerous class. It consisted of peasants which in that day was called serfs. By kingdom, serfs owed their lord many hard hours of work. I think the people who worked should be in the highest social class.
