5 What was the class segregation?  The highest was the monarch, which included the Royals. Who was advised by the Church.  The middle class contains a mixture of high to low ranking. Nobles are the top of middle class, following knights and Vassals being the middle and Merchants, Framers, and Craftsmen being the lower middle class.  The highest population but the lowest class included Peasants and Serfs.
