Explicação:
There were several levels found in the feudal social structure. The first level was the monarch, king or queen, or clergy. The monarch was the highest level in the system and ruled over all of the land, except for the church. The next highest level in the medieval social structure was the lords, or nobles. The lords were given responsibility of estates by the monarch. In exchange for this land the lords gave the king their loyalty and military support. Under the lords was the social class of the knights, or vassals. Knights were granted this title by the monarch of the land. The lowliest level of the medieval social classes was the serfs or the peasants.

	 8a Questão
	
	
	
	
	During the Anglo-Saxon period, how were the poems written down?
		
	
	In fact, poems were not typical of the Anglo-Saxon Period. They date from the Middle Ages.
	 
	As ordinary people did not know how to read and write during the Anglo-Saxon period, anyone who 'created' a poem would ask the monks , in the monasteries, to write them down for them, since the monks, as religious people, were the only ones who could read and write at that time.
	
	As the printing machine was invented during this period of time, the author of the poems would ask permission to have it printed.
	
	Poems were not written down at that time. People would memorize them and tell their relatives so that they would also keep them in their minds. That´s why we do not have any register of them.
	
	As paper was not yet available at that time, they would draw images on stones to represent the sentences of a poem.
