Social Life in Middle Ages

        Social division in the High Middle Ages contains a large faucet for misinterpretation and misconception. Life in Christian Europe during the High Middle Ages were drawn into three various social classifications, “Those Who Work”, “Those Who Fight”, and “Those Who Pray”. These three areas represent the peasants, nobles, and monks respectively. Contrary to popular belief, the social organization is based in terms of mutual recompense, and the relationship between social classes was seen as beneficial rather than exploitative.
