**3.What role did religion play during the Middle Ages? Was it a private and personal matter? Or, was it related to social status?**
I think that the Society in Madrid in the Middle Ages was organized inthree states: the Nobles the first,they paid some buildings to be built,then the Clero that were part from the church,parish and monasteries,and the lastest ones the peasents,that they were the poor people.Also it was diveded in privilaged and non-privilaged staates.The Nobles and the Clero were from the privilaged state and the Peasants from the non.privilaged state. The people that pay the to built the buildings I thinkk,that they did it,because they thought thay if they payed the buildings they would be more important in society. I think that the religion had a very important role in the Middle Ages,it was very important for people,they believed in God,the ask for things to the God,for this there were a lot of Churchs.I think taht in a part the religion was private and personal matter,because you pray to God,and you asked God for things for your family and friends,but for other part,it was related with social status,because the churches,the parish and the monastery were from the Clero the monks and nuns that live in the monastery were from the Clero,so I think this.
