First sentence: It is an oversimplification but perhaps a helpful guide to divide the Middle Ages, as is sometimes done, according to social groupings: thus, the Early Middle Ages is described as the period of the monks, the High (middle period) as the period of the knights, and the Late as the period of the townsmen.
