Big question: The society was divided in two different estate the privlaged estate and the non-privileged estate.The privileged estate were the rich people and the non privileged estate the poor people, but inside of the non-privileged estate there were some rich people , but did not have any privileges.So I think that the rich people were the people that ordered to built those monuments becouse they could pay for them. In some of those buildings live some oh those rich people.I think the people that built the buildings want their building to be better than the others one.The religious buildings were very important because they give workship to God.There were so many Churchs, parishes and monasterys. Religion was not private, every body can prey, but obiously the privileged estate have more power than the non-privilaged estate.
