1. In what ways was society organised in Madrid during the Middle Ages?

2. What did the people who built the buildings hope to show with their structures?

3. What role did religion play during the Middle Ages? Was it a private and personal matter? Or, was it related to social status? The society of the Middle Ages was organized in two estates.They were the non-privileged estate and the privileged estate. The non-privileged estate had to pay taxes and could not participate in political issues. And the privileged estate didn't pay taxes and participated in political issues. The nobles belonged to the privileged estate, the ruled over the country and protected it by paying the knights that where the warriors. The Clergy belonged also to the privileged estate, they where abbots, priests, nuns, monks and bishops. They were the only ones that could read and write in the society. The workers belonged to the non-privileged estate and they worked cultivating the land of the clergy and the nobles. With their structures, they wanted to show their social estatement and the power that they had and the religion that they followed. The religion was very important because the Church had a lot of power and everything depended on religion. Religion was related to social status because everyone had to follow the religious rules.
