Technically, a freeman was a type of peasant, who was not dependent on a member of the nobility. As such, a freeman was extremely unlikely to become a king. There was one instance I know of, in which a peasant lead a rebellion in Bulgaria, and was briefly king of that country.

Some families were elevated from relative obscurity to the monarchy within a very few generations. Owen Tudor was an untitled steward who married Catherine of Valois, the widow of a King Henry V of England. One of their children was made an earl by his half brother, King Henry VI. One of his children became King Henry VII.

Why did the church become powerful during the Middle Ages?

My own understanding, and answer to this matter, would be because the church held exclusive access to the text of Christianity, and allowed only certain people to interpret the bible. With that it caused people to fear it, and fear opposing the church. This fear of opposition was supported by the nobility in order to subdue and control the population.


What happened to Maine under The Missouri Compromise?

A little background history: In 1820, Maine was a part of Massachusetts, even though New Hampshire is in between them. Missouri was trying to become a state, but wanted to be a "slave state"- that is, a state that allowed slavery. But the number of slave states matched the number of free states (states were slavery was not allowed). Allowing Missouri become a slave state would upset the balance, which would cause problems, like that the Senate would have more slave-state Senators, and it would give slave states slightly more power in presidential elections (because they would have more Congressmen and Senators). So the Compromise set a bunch of rules about slavery, but the big thing it did was it separated Maine from Massachusetts and allowed it to become a free state. Missouri was allowed to become a slave state. The balance was preserved, which postponed a major confrontation about slavery for a while longer.


How do you write surnames using last name first?

You would first write the surname, followed by a comma and a space. Then you would write the first, or given, name, followed by a space and the middle name or middle initial. So 'John Fitzgerald Kennedy' would become 'Kennedy, John Fitzgerald' or Kennedy, John F.
