The group with the least power was slaves, who had nearly none. There were not slaves everywhere in Europe, however, and as the Middle Ages progressed, more and more countries gave up on slavery, so they did not exist everywhere and were pretty much gone by the time the Middle Ages ended.
The most commonly seen group with least power was serfs, who were mostly free, but could not move away from the land they lived on. Their bondage to the land, however, had some benefits, such as a guarantee of a job, a place to live, and protection. By the end of the Middle Ages, this group also was declining in numbers in some places. In Britain, for example, most serfs had been freed of their bondage by then.

The largest and lowest social class in both Egypt and Rome were made up of common people. In Egypt they were referred to as peasants. In Rome they were called plebeians.
the people in the upper class where the people in the guilds, the rich families, and people in the government. the people in the lowest class were the slaves. Hope this helped:P
Kings and queens were at the top. After them were lords and ladies. Then came knights and vassals. The lowest class was made up of peasants and serfs
The church, the upper class, and the lower class. It's more of how you perceive them to be though. The original Three Estates, as you may already know, are the church, the nobility, and the peasants. So if you were to translate that to today, the nobility would be those wealthiest in our society, and the peasants are those who are the lowest on the totem pole. The lower working class. Hope this helps!
They were peasants
peasants
Yes, they were the lowest class. They did the labor and fought the wars for the nobility. The average life span was at the most 30 years old, but many died sooner of disease, war, or accidents. Women and children got the worse of it. When they died they still owed taxes for dying to the Manor.

There were many different jobs for the Ancient Egyptians. But it all depends on what Social Class they were in. The upper or ruling class were either priests or nobles. The middle class which was also the largest class were either merchants, scribes, soldiers, physicians, artisans, and skilled workers. The lowest class was made up of slaves and peasants.
