They built humongous castles and had quite a bit of land that they split up between themselves and their vassals. Their vassals were nobles and knights.

They gave their lords money and protection in return for land. They also gave their lords money on special occasions and shelter if needed. Their vassals then gave them money and protection.

They were serfs, or people tied to their lords land, making them unable to leave. They were not formally educated in forms such as reading and writing and cared for themselves and their lord.
