A miller might have been a serf who was assigned the job of running a manorial mill, but perhaps most millers were freemen who worked for themselves. This would put them into the middle class.
In the feudal system of the Middle Ages, the miller was considered to be a member of the peasant or lower-class. They were responsible for operating and maintaining the local mill, which was an essential part of the community as it ground grain into flour. Although they held an important role in providing a vital service, their social standing was still below that of the nobility and clergy.

The rebirth of trade in the late middle ages began in Europe, following endemic warfare, social unrest, and depopulation.
It depends who "you" are. By modern standards, people in the middle ages would seem boorish, rude, and filthy. Most of our social ettiquette dates from after the middle ages. In the east, bathing was more common in the middle ages, but other practices (such as bathroom... things...) were disgusting pretty much everywhere.
The period of time from 500 AD to 1500 AD is called the Middle Ages.
Social mobility in the feudal system was limited. Typically, individuals were born into a particular social class and had little opportunity to move between classes. However, in some cases, exceptional individuals could rise in status through military prowess or service to a lord.
