Most medieval monks came from well-off or noble families, as the support for monastic life often required financial stability. Many were sent to monasteries as children for education or to fulfill family obligations. However, some monks also came from lower social classes, seeking a life of spirituality and refuge from the hardships of secular life. Overall, the backgrounds of monks varied, but many had connections to the upper echelons of society.

Who was above and below the monks in the medieval hierarchy?
Monks were totally outside the hierarchy of medieval society, which consisted of the King, the nobles, the Lords, and the peasants. Monks could actually come from any of these classes, although, in practice, the choir monks usually came from the families of the Lords and the nobles, and the claustral monks normally came from the peasants. But, once in a monastery, outside of the Abbot, you were totally isolated from the hierarchical system..Thus the abbot, and anyone appointed by him, such as the prior, subprior, etc. would be above the monks, and the novices would be below him. Beyond that monks were strictly ordered along the date of their entrance, according to the Rule of St. Benedict, which has been in force since the sixth century and still rules most monasteries to this day.

When did the cistercian order come to an end?
It has not come to an end and there are still Cistercian monks today. In England all the monasteries occupied by Benedictines, Cistercians, Cluniacs, Carthusians and others were closed in the period 1538 to 1540 and all monks were either pensioned off or found alternative employment. Naturally, the Order continued to flourish in the rest of Europe. In more recent times the Cistercians (and other Orders of monks and nuns) have returned to the UK to establish themselves again; a thriving community of Cistercians currently exists at Caldey Abbey in Wales, following a regime based closely on that followed by their medieval colleagues. See link below for details of the Caldey Abbey Cistercians:
