The Frankish people were Germanic tribes that settled in Gaul and and the Netherlands during the period of the Roman Empire, and created a Frankish Empire that lasted until Louis the Pious died and his 3 children split the empire.\n\nThere were 2 main divisions: Salian (Salty) and Ripuarian (River) Franks. Read more about them here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salian_Franks\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripuarian_Franks

They were the Cathars (correct spelling will help you search Wikipedia - I won't do that for you).  They were a heretic sect of Christianiity that became extrremeely popular in southern France.   They  suffered greatly at the hands of the Inquisition, and were finally supprressed brutally in the Albigensian Crusade.

In the Middle Ages, believe it or not, "Poor" was not a clearly defined concept. The fuedal system meant that [by and large] everyone had a useful role in society. It is not until people were redundent that poverty became an issue.\n\nSome answers seem to think the Middle Ages and The Middle of the second Millenium are the same thing. They are not. The Middle Ages is the period in Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire about 750ad to about 1500ad The Middle Ages had finished by 1600

He united western Europe I believe in the 9th century.  The Franks and Germanic tribes were united into the Holy Roman Empire.  He brought back academia, and was a huge patron of the arts.  After his death his empire split into pieces, some of which were ruled by his grandchildren.  I think his most notable contribution, other than starting the Holy Roman Empire, was bringing back an interest in antiquity (the ancient world: Rome & Greece).

Well... one of the key features of Marxist Commnism (referring to German writer Karl Marx who published Communist Manifesto in 1848 to rally Socialists under a Communist banner), social classes were eliminated.  This happened to a lower degree under Lenin and Stalin in 20th cent. USSR

1. Because the first and second estates consisted of clergy members (the church) and the second estates the Nobility. They had to pay no taxes and their voices were the first ones heard when an issue came up.\n3. the third estate, had no money because of inflation of food products, which they needed. Also because of unemployment. \n4. Being born into a social class you usually cannot move up or down unless you are married to someone of a higher class (this was very rare back then) and usually the third class could not voice their opinions

Yes "The French Revolution brought many changes among all four social classes" is an excellent thesis. It clearly states what your paper will be about. The only thing i would change is the fact that you need to be more specific, for example state what the four social classes are.

Social: class-ridden & female disenfranchisement\n\nPolitical: surging nationalism chafing at multi-ethnic empires; democracy in countries like UK, France & Italy but little or none in Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire or Russia.\n\nEconomical: mercantilism dying away, free trade growing, Germany becoming so rich & confident that the established balance of power in Europe was out the window.\n\nGeographical: Far fewer countries in Europe than exist today, mainly because of the empires with lots of territory in Europe (Austro-Hungarian, Russian, Ottoman and German).

Medieval Guilds were centered on trades mostly. So you could try the merchants guild. They were very strong in advocating their rights as to the privileges of the middle class. Especially when it came to not only ownership of land but also the ability to determine their own destiny.

They say it was after the Battle of the Golden Spurs, where France was trying to invade Flanders (now part of Belgium) and the regular folkspeople (well organized) beat the heck out of the knights in armor and the French cavalry. Soon after that firepower would be discovered and it was essential to have mobility more than armor. That was around the year 1300.

Suggest you read 'Guns, Germs and Steel', by Jared Diamond.\n\nFrom an anthropological point of view, social stratification arose only when societies invented agriculture.  Hunter gatherers live(d) mostly in small bands with almost no social heirarchy. This was because everybody needed to be 'hands on' in hunting and collecting food for survival.\nOnce sociteies settled into more or less intensive agriculture, there was often enough surplus food to support people who did other things, for example chiefs and craftsmen, priests etc.  This was the origin of a stratified society.\nSo, it isn't completely necessary - as long as everybody can do everything for themselves/their own family.  However, with the population densities in most parts of the world that we have today, it IS necessary - because it wouldn't be possible for all of us to produce all our own food and all the other 'goodies' we expect to be able to enjoy.  We need specialists and specialisms mean social stratification.

The term "third world" was coined to reference the "third estate" during the French Revolution, which was composed of everyone but the clergy and nobility. They were the power behind the revolution.

the templar knights were the ones that protected and found holy relics.  i know somewhere a few of the disbanded templars' familys later formed the free masons, but ive never heard of the bilterburgers.

not an easy answer, I would recommend reading "The Status Seekers" by Vance Packard, or the scaled down version (it is just selections from the book) "American Social Classes in the 1950's", edited by Daniel Horowitz
