Middle Ages Webquest - Step 4

Step Four: Kings & Nobles

You will be comparing how different classes of people lived during the Medieval Era both in Step Four and Step Five. You will be examining how these groups lived, what their quality of life was, how much political power they had, and deciding whether or not they were treated fairly. Use the questions in your packet to guide your research and answer each of the questions for all the classes.

Please note that groups are sometimes referred to by different names. Example: nobles may be called barons or lords peasants may be called serfs, villeins, or vassals
