The orders of friars, also known as the mendicant orders because of their dependence on begging, aimed to live a life of poverty and simplicity, similar to that of Jesus' apostles. Most orders banned ownership of property and the friars were expected to live a simple life relying on the charity of others. The friars succeeded best in urban areas, where there were large audiences for sermons and people to attend their services. They could beg for food and clothing, but were forbidden to ask for cash and were not allowed to beg for donations whilst preaching. In an age where parish priests were often illiterate, poorly educated and gave little attention to parish sermons, the outpourings of a friar experienced in public speaking, who had traveled the country extensively, must have seemed a breath of fresh air.
