Answer 1

• Servant: Person who is at the service of a person. Despite this definition, often differentiate between the slave and the slave. The servant received from the feudal lord a house and land to work and could keep a percentage of the harvest. Besides, for the law, he was a free man.
• The nobleman is the one who holds the condition or the title of nobility, which constituted since ancient times a high dignity, and later a "socio-group" concept and were of a high social order. In the Middle Ages and in the Old Regime, it was one of the three estates together with the clergy and the third state. Its preponderant character was practically abolished in the political sphere, before the questioning of the legitimacy of its domain and against the argument of the Enlightenment. His influence remained even after the bourgeois and proletarian revolutions, notwithstanding the permanent pressures to eliminate a distinction introduced between essentially equal human beings.
• Cleric comes from the ancient Greek κληρικός (klērikos). In an extended sense, clergyman is synonymous with the ecclesiastical term (not to be confused with the Ecclesiastical, a book of the Bible) and can refer, in Christianity, to both a member of the regular clergy (ordained monks and friars) and the secular clergy (deacons and diocesan priests). It is important to emphasize the generic character of the term and the multiplicity of meanings it can have in different religions. Thus, it is often used to refer to a religious leader in Islam. In the current law of the Catholic Church, clergy is understood as the person who joins the priestly order at least in the degree of diaconate. In the Middle Ages, the clergy went from village to village, trying to bring the cultured and religious subjects closer to the people with a didactic and moralizing purpose, using the Romance language. His office was called Mester de Clercía.
• A merchant is a person who deals with or trades salable goods, that is, merchandise or merchandise. Different qualifiers are added depending on the merchandise with which he works: iron merchant, cloth merchant, finance merchant, etc. It is a term practically in disuse that has been replaced by merchant or distributor. Formerly, according to the Spanish maritime-mercantile law, it was called Mercader: the owner of the goods that were shipped, the shipper of own or foreign goods, the charterer of a whole ship or quintaladas, the factor or the surcharge, to the encomendero when he followed the trip in the conductive ship of the effects entrusted to his care.
• A monarch is known as the head of state of a country whose form of organization is called monarchy; it normally exercises the highest representation of the State and arbitrates and moderates the functioning of its institutions. Although it can also refer to the head of an ethnic group (Zulus, Maori, etc.), it is usually from one country (currently forty-six States and an international law institution elevated to the category of State - Order of Malta-, recognized by the UN). One of these heads of state, specifically the Queen of the United Kingdom, holds the head of the Commonwealth of Nations, an organization that shares historical ties with the United Kingdom.
• An artisan is the person who makes handicrafts or crafts. Artisans do their work by hand or with hand tools, so you have to have some skill and ability to do your job. They can work alone or with other people who can serve as assistants or apprentices. The objects produced tend to have an aesthetic and / or utilitarian value. The artisan can sell, personally or to third parties, his creations, which he produces in his "workshop", at street level, in a craft stall or in the workshop of a master craftsman, when he works as an employee. Artisans and their work are usually part of the folklore of their place of origin, use materials typical of their area to make their products or inspired by traditionally local motifs.
• In the Middle Ages, the institution of chivalry was related to a code of conduct and honor that defined not only the art of war, but also involved specific regulations of religious, moral and social behavior (see orders of chivalry) identified fully with the ideals of medieval court life. The knight was necessarily a feudal lord and the light or heavy cavalry a military corps in the service of a king or feudal power from the time of the ancient Median and Achaemenid empires, who adopted the custom of using the horse as a weapon, riding the warriors over the animal, unlike previous stages, when it was only used as a shooting animal to which a chariot or battle car was tied. Later the Medes adopted the use of full armor, thus starting the heavy cavalry, a fundamental resource for war until the appearance of gunpowder.
