In this presentation, life in the middle ages will be discussed.

First off, a key factor at the time was one's social rank: the higher you were in the so-called
social pyramid, the better your life conditions would be. The king and nobles were at the top,
while priests, knights merchants and commoners occupied the subsequent places.

Similar to life conditions, clothes were also an indicator of one's status. In fact, cities and
reigns had “sumptuary" laws. These laws stated who could wear what types of clothes and
what materials they could use.
In this image is represented a kind of clothes worn by lower class people. They were simple
clothes but they usually did their job: they would keep people warm and protected while also
being pretty cheap.

Women of higher status would wear fancy clothes; nobles had very elegant and stunning suits.

Cities were usually located near a river or on top of hills or highlands (or at least the castle)
and were surrounded by thick walls.However, they were also usually dirty and crowded. During
wars or pestilences you could always find corpses on the streets, which lead to more diseases.

Common houses were small, usually with one or two rooms at maximum. These homes were
very crowded and usually everyone slept in the same room.
In the country, the family animals, such as cows or sheeps, could also have lived inside the
house. Homes were usually dark, smoky from the fire, and uncomfortable.
Kings and nobles lived instead in big castles.
