Did a nobleman in medieval times go to church?

Answer 1

Yes, in all Christian countries . It should be noted that in Medieval Catholic Europe there was a big Gender divide and such things as separate Church facilities for women, often called Lady Chapels, and decorated with statues and altarpieces of St.Mary or other Female Saints ( I can imagine Catherine being popular in Czarist Russia) In the Catholic countries, such as Spain, Portugal, and Italy Religious sisters often served as Ladies In Waiting to the female royalty, this custom was in use in Italy (home of the Roman church) as late as l926 when Catholic nuns took charge of the Funeral arrangements of Queen Margherita, dressing her body in the Royal Robes and performing the laying-out functions at the royal chapel. This was also the case inother Catholic nations. By the way that Monarch often played hymns on the Church organs at both the Winter Palace(de Facto)-where she died, and in Rome. So, Queens were very much in the spiritual foreground! Yes, in all Christian countries .

Answer 2

Not all medieval people went to church. We can know this because there were quite a few people who were not even Christians. There were pagans, even into the High Middle Ages, and there were Jews in many places in Europe. In Spain, Italy, and the Balkans, there were also Muslims. Also, one of the things reported in the Middle Ages was that there were places where the peasants were too remote to have access to clergy, and so went without, so we know the church was aware of at least some people who did not go to church, but could not do much about it.
