//__La Gran Pregunta:__//
__//1. In what ways society organized 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? Give your personal opinion, but support it using the buildings and exampled what you have studied to defend your ideas://__

__//**1.**//__ During the Middle Ages the society was organized into two groups: The **Privileged estate**, and the **non-privileged estate**.

Inside the privileged are two differents groups: __The nobles__, that they didn´t have to pay taxes, and ocupy political positions. And __The Clergy__ (bishops, abbots, nins, priets, and monks.), that don´t have to pay taxes too. And inside the non-privileged estate, are __The Workers__ (peasants, traders, craftsmen, bankers, etc ...), that pay taxes and don´t ocupy political positions.

__//**2.**//__ I think that the builders hope to show differents things, in one (such as the Muslim Wall), they want to show power to resist, in other (like the The Basilica of San Miguel de los Octoes), they want to show the faith of the men to God, I thing that depens on the buildings and the people who built the buildings.

__//**3.**//__ I think that the role of the religion during Middle Ages was one of the most important, because the majority of the people were believers so they obeid all that the church said. And if you don´t, you can have a big problem.
