What is the evidance that the black death hit all sections of society?

We have death records, and they show that the percentages of serfs, middle class, nobles, and royalty who died were all pretty much the same. In many places, people who lived in towns and cities were more likely to die than people who lived in the countryside. Also, in many places, the monks and nuns had higher mortality rates because they were providing health care.


Who did the serfs serve?

AnswerThe nobility. They were slaves. AnswerThe serfs were not slaves. They were not free, as they were bound to the land they lived on, but they could not be bought or sold, and they could not be taken off the land by the lord any more than they could leave it without his permission. Doubtless they sometimes did work as servants, but usually they were agricultural, and they were much more likely to take work doing simple labor than as servants. There were reeves, who organized and supervised the serfs on manors, and who acted as representatives for the lords to the serfs and for the serfs to the lords. The reeves, however, were also serfs, and were often elected by the serfs annually. There are links below.

Is a serf higher than a knight?

No, a serf was a good deal lower than a knight. A serf was an agricultural worker who was bound to the land he lived on and was not allowed to leave it. A serf was not a slave, because he could not be purchased or sold, but he was also not free to leave the place where he lived. The knights were the lowest level of nobility. They were at a higher status than freemen, who were at a higher status than serfs.
