Hello, just got a sheet that has a couple problems regarding European Medieval history. One of them is to fill out a pyramid hierarchy of the following classes:

Question

serfs, nobles, clergy, merchants, monarchs, artisans, and knights

I've been looking over the internet and couldn't find a somewhat reliable source that showed ALL of those classes, and what they did. It would only show some of them, and sometimes add classes not in the list (like kings and vassals etc.)

So I'd appreciate any help that you're willing to offer regarding links or just general knowledge about those classes.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Go to Google and enter medieval social ladder and then click on images.

Answer 2

PS -- Artisans = Craftsmen in one of the first of those images.
