People lived their entire lives according to the church. The church played a huge role in education and daily life (Hinds 14). All Medieval christians marked important stages of life with the sacraments of the church (Hinds 14). After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe was a mess (Richardson).They could not defend themselves and there was no trade (Richardson).

Everyone in the church could communicate because no matter where they lived, all church officials spoke Latin (Richardson). Because of this, most people turned to religion and the church for hope (Richardson). The church was the only organized institution in Europe so they tried to instill order on everybody else. They came up with the idea of an order in the universe and that not all people are created equal (Richardson) and everything has a given place on God's hierarchy (Melani).

To fight this order would be going against God so very few people in medieval Europe tried to fight it (Melani). The system of feudalism was created based on the Great Chain of Being…
