Jazmin · Answer 2

true

Explanation:

During the medieval times, there were broad orders of social hierarchy used in Christian Europe. These broad orders of social hierarchy were called the "estates of the realm" or the "three estates". This was a system that divided people in society with different social statuses. The first estate (aka the most respected estate/social status) included the clergy. Therefore, during the medieval times, the clergy was most respected and could influence people.
