Under the control of nobles and kings on farms and castles, in various counties of the world that had a feaudal system
In European feudalism, the basic hierarchy from most powerful to least was composed of the king at the top, followed by powerful nobles or lords who held large estates. Below them were vassals or lesser nobles who served the lords in exchange for land. Peasants and serfs occupied the lowest level, working the land and providing labor, often bound to the land they farmed. This structure created a system of mutual obligations and loyalty among the different classes.
Kings and lords owned the land and peasants called serfs, so lords and kings had all the power.
In the feudalism system, peasants and serfs had the more intensive labor compared to nobles and lords. They were responsible for agricultural work, maintaining the land, and fulfilling various obligations to their lords, often working long hours under harsh conditions. In contrast, the nobility primarily focused on governance, military duties, and managing their estates, leading to a significant disparity in labor intensity.
The social structure was mainly made up of the nobles, the merchants, and the peasants. The nobles were granted land by the king and they have peasants working under them. Later on there are more titles in between, like Baron, Lord, Knights, etc. The merchants are wealthier than the peasants but don't have as much power as the nobles, thus making them middle class.
