 * __The Big Question__
 * 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?**

The society was divided into three states: nobles, clergy, workers. I think the people that ordered to built te structures were the privileged state because the non privileged state didn´t have money to pay. The people that ordered to built the monuments, I think they want to saw their power. I think religion was so important to the people of the middle age because they believed a lot in God. The people go to the church to pray for the health of his family. All the people can go to pray, so non privileged state also can pray.
 * Nobles** belonged to the privileged state, so they didn´t pay taxes,and they could had political positions. Some nobles were knights that were soldiers in horse that protect the city. **Clergy** they also were a privileged state, so they didn´t pay taxes and could obtain political positions. They were formed by priests, abbots,nuns and monks. **Workers** ( traders, bankers, craftsmens, peasants) were a non privileged state, so they had to pay taxes, they couldn´t obtain political positions and some of them were serfs and others free mens.
