Notes: Hierarchy in the Middle Ages

Hierarchy

a system or organization in which people or groups are ranked one above the other

according to status or power

Hierarchy in the Middle Ages =

Feudalism• Born into a “class” of people• Generally stayed in that class your entire

life– Working hard did not change your

status!– Your clothing, food, marriage, homes,

etc., were determined for you

• This means there was hardly any upward mobility
