"The clergy order does not consist of one body but the society is divided into three orders. Apart from the afore mentioned, the law recognizes two kinds of men: the noble and servant, which are not governed by the same law.
The nobles are the warriors, the protectors of the churches. They defend all the people, from the strong one to the weak one and, at the same time, they protect themselves. The other class is that of the servants. This unfortunate race does not gain anything without suffering. Provisions and clothing are supplied to all by them and therefore free men can not manage without them. In so being, the city of God, which is supposed to be one, it's actually triple. Some men pray, others fight and others work. The three orders live together and will not get apart. Services of each of these orders allow the work of the other two. And each one, in turn, supports the others. As this law has been working, the world has been in peace".
Monk Adalberon, Carmen ad Robertum regem francorum, 998 A.C.
