Answer:

Noble class

Step-by-step explanation:

Historically, in medieval Europe, the system that was in use was the feudal system and it had three distinct social classes which were:

  • A king
  • A noble class
  • Peasant class

I would like to be part of the noble class which includes nobles, priests, and princes. The noble class rented out their lands to peasants and the King was the one who owned all lands but gave out lands to his nobles for their use.

Being a king would sound like a tempting proposition but personally, I do not think I am cut out for being a King and ruling over a kingdom, so being a noble is the next best thing because I'm just part of the ruling class who rules over the commoners. Moreso, the word 'nobility' in medieval Europe also included members of the society who were in leadership positions because of their wealth, political position or specialized training.
