New orders of monks called friars were formed in the Middle Ages as a response to the perceived corruption and wealth of existing monastic orders. Friars sought to live a simpler, more austere lifestyle focused on preaching, teaching, and serving the community rather than withdrawing from the world in contemplation. They emphasized poverty, humility, and service to the poor as central tenets of their religious practice.
