Life in Medieval Society

In the Middle Ages, society was divided into three groups: 

--The nobles
--The clergy
--The commoners. We can divide this group into: artisans and merchants (people who made and sold products)  and peasants (people who worked on the land growing crops.)




At first, most people were peasants.  Later, by the 12th century, cities became very important. The people who lived there were called the bourgeoisie (burgueses). Artisans organised themselves into guilds (gremios).
