Nobles in the Middle Ages are basically people that owned manors. They were born nobles, and only few non-noble born people were transformed into nobles, and it was basically to bring some money to the country. In 1215 A.D a group of nobles decided to force the king to respect their rights. They decided to create a document called the Magna Carta which lead to Parliament. Which is the governing body that still exists today in England. It also has lead to democracy which is now used in several countries such as the United States and Canada.

The chain of a hierarchy from the middle ages looks something like this:

1 King

a few people of the Higher Clergy

some Nobles

some lesser nobles, Knights, Lower Clergy

Serfs/Peasants, who did most of the work and were rewarded with houses and basic needs, but the king could take away their house at any time. Most of the people were Serfs.

The higher up on the chain the less people there are.

this person needs help answering this question because they don't have this stuff in Canada or the united states! I would know because i lived in Canada for 16 years and now live in the u.s.
