The Three Orders
Question
Describe two features of early feudal society in France.
Solution
French priests believed in the concept that people were members of one of the three 'orders', depending on their work. A bishop stated, 'Here below, some pray, others fight, still others work...'.
Thus, the three orders of society were broadly the clergy, the nobility and the peasantry.
Two features of early feudal society:
(i) The lord enjoyed special status. His order was supreme. Nobody could deny his order.
(ii) It was based on the lord peasants relationship. The peasants offered labour in the service of the service of their lord.
