How is medieval society organised under feudalism (medieval hierarchy)?
Medieval society consisted of three classes known as the


three estates: those who fight. those who pray. those who labour. So basically you have the nobles that is the king and the nobility which included the knights. the priests,bishops etc.and the rest of the people who were the peasants. The peasants owed their allegiance to their lord and the lords owed their allegiance to the king. The peasants were expected to do four things


a/ grow and provide food for the nobles


b/ provide services to the nobles


c/ pay taxes


d/go to war when commanded to by their lord.
