Like the Medieval social structure, there were very stark contrasts between the rich and poor in the Songhai Empire. Monarchs were at the top while landless slaves formed the base of the social hierarchy. However, there is one distinct way Songhai differed from Medieval social structure, Songhai religious officials were not considered a separate social class.
In ancient Songhai, the social structure was hierarchical, with the emperor at the top followed by nobles, scholars, and artisans. Below them were farmers and laborers, and at the bottom were slaves. Social status was largely determined by birth, occupation, and wealth.
