To control the population. About 90% of the people were peasants or serfs, another 5% would be noble and the rest were the clergy. The clergy controlled the nobles, the nobles controlled the majority of the population. The 90% served, fed, and fought for the 10%.This worked well for the people at the top. Not so well for those at the bottom.
