Roles in Society in the Middle Ages

In the Middle Ages, the role of society was based on gender and social class. Social classes are inherited around the feudal system and constructed. Rank ranging from male to female feudal system from lowest to highest are farmers, citizens and aristocrats. In addition, men and women can also choose to become a bishop, pastor, monk or nun. The lower class men and women of society usually have different responsibilities and authority. But at a higher level of society, men and women have similar responsibilities and authorities.

Throughout the Middle Ages their roles in women and society were ambiguous and contradictory. And women are considered to be dominated by men. But recently, historians believe that the medieval women's life seems to be more free than previously thought. In many aspects of the records that were preserved at that time, women were largely ignored, and until recently they were ignored by most historical books. The reason is probably the fact that people wrote historical books until recently by recording these records in the Middle Ages - these books tend to pay more attention to the upper class of society. Usually men as well

Medieval women have played a variety of social roles. In the Middle Ages, women played important leadership roles such as wives, mothers, peasants, craftsmen, nuns, queen and queen, from the history of Europe from the 5th century to the 15th century. In the medieval rule, the concept of "women" changed variously, during which some power influenced the role of women. The Roman Catholic Church is the main unified cultural influence of the Middle Ages, and its choice comes from Latin learning, preservation of clerks, and central control through the network of bishops. Historically, in Catholic and other ancient churches, the role of bishops such as priests was limited to men. The first Orange Committee (441) also prohibited the execution of tasks and prohibited the reproduction of the Epaone Council (517) and the Second Orleans Council (533).
