Where friar's rich or poor?

Answer 1

Assuming the question to be 'Were Friars rich or poor?', the correct answer is: poor. They took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. In principle, they lived by begging. Of course, there were always some who got round the rules and lived pretty well. Incidentally, you are wrong to put your question in a past tense. Friars are still very much with us. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friar
