= __//*** BIG QUESTION**//__ =

Madrid´s society was based on the power, posesions and money of the people. It was organized in two big groups: //the privileged estate// and //the non-privileged estate//. Inside this two big groups, there were other smaler os sub- groups. Inside the privileged estate were the nobles and the clergy, wich had political and economic power, they didn´t have to paid taxes and held political positions.And inside the non-privileged estate were the bourgeoidie, the workers adn the peasant. They dind´t have any power. They could not hold any position, and yhey had to pay taxes. I think this social organization was very extremely, because there were people with a lot of mone, and people that haven´t got anything.

The people that built this bg and important buildings are mostly very important perople or people with a lot of money. They wanted to their power and money. They also wanted to show the poor peasants and workers who was the one who has mora power. They wanted to show their superiority above the oder ones. This people are usally very conceited people because thy made feel the other ones as social waste.

The religion was very important during the Middle Ages. We can say its one or the most important this during that towns. All the people during the Middle Ages follows a religion strictly. The religion was so important, that even wars has been produce by conflicts between differents religions. i think religion was very important during the Middle Ages, because during hard times, it gives to the poor people spirits to continue fighting agains har things.
