Monks and Nuns were important in the middle ages because they taught the priests and helped others in need of spiritual salvation at the church.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Middle Ages were a time of great faith. People's lives revolved around the Church and they realized that an eternity in heaven was something that should rule these few short years on earth. The monks and nuns kept alive learning, and history; and reproduced many books that we would have lost otherwise. They contributed to advances in science, farming methods, and kept alive many skills that would otherwise have been lost. There were few towns, and no cities in the Middle Ages, and the monasteries served as centers for a host of things. Mendicants came along towards the end, the High Middle Ages, and did a lot towards spreading faith and love of God.Wiki User

∙ 11y agonuns were considered the ultimate form of sexiness, so all teenage girls wanted to be sexy and cool (also old women). And the priests used to be able to score (get laid) since "having god on your side" was a turn on for girls back then. now god is usually mentioned in porno movies as a moan.

Can a king become a priest during middle ages?
Technically, a king could have become a priest, but it probably never happened. A priest is supposed to have a vocation, and a priest's vocation would probably have been viewed as being in conflict with the demands of monarchy. We have records of monarchs who abdicated and retired to monasteries or convents, but this did not happen commonly and even when it did they did not always become monks or nuns. To have become a priest, a king would have had to go further with education and have a different, specific vocation.
