No, obviously. Medieval times ended hundreds of years ago and people, monks included just don't live that long.
The Medieval era spanned a millennia and many monks lived during that time- there's not going to be any definitive answer. What I can tell you is that common building materials included wood, mud brick, stone, and rushes and that monks' houses were probably built to the method of whichever era they lived in.
Yes, Buddhist Shaolin monks are celibate. They are also abstain from eating meat and alcohol. They are also bound not to kill any living creatures.
Monks were totally outside the hierarchy of medieval society, which consisted of the King, the nobles, the Lords, and the peasants. Monks could actually come from any of these classes, although, in practice, the choir monks usually came from the families of the Lords and the nobles, and the claustral monks normally came from the peasants. But, once in a monastery, outside of the Abbot, you were totally isolated from the hierarchical system..Thus the abbot, and anyone appointed by him, such as the prior, subprior, etc. would be above the monks, and the novices would be below him. Beyond that monks were strictly ordered along the date of their entrance, according to the Rule of St. Benedict, which has been in force since the sixth century and still rules most monasteries to this day.
yes in the medieval ages. not any more that is!!
Since monks were forbidden to own anything, or have anything they might call their own, or receive anything from anyone without passing it to the superior of the monastery, the idea of monks being given any kind of reward is contrary to the Regula Benedicti (Rule of St Benedict).Monks sought no reward and simply strove to be worthy to be taken into Heaven when they died; beyond that the idea of reward would be alien to them.
You just call Monks Monks and Nuns Nuns. They don't have any other names.

Yes there are. There are monks that train at branches of the shaolin temple in their own country
Once on coast to coast w George Norry. He had a guest that flamed to have come across a temple of sorts. In this temple monks would meditate and each day attending monks would give water to the praying monks less and less each week until the meditating monks would soon require so little water that they could go months without water? Any one?
