  6. Three Social Classes

  7. The Nobility lived in amazing wealth! • This is one of the 1000 rooms in King Louis XIV’s palace. • People of the Nobility were also called Royalty or Monarchs. • They received most of the wealth that came back from colonies in the New World, and trade in foreign lands.

  8. The New Middle Class Peasants did all the work! • Some of the wealth held exclusively by Royalty began to trickle to the commoners, and a new Middle Class emerged. The Middle Class wanted lavish homes and servants, just like Royalty. • The peasants did all the work! Most of them served the upper classes by working their land or waiting on them in their homes.

In your notes, write two ways you can tell this clothing is representative of the Baroque period. Write two ways you can tell by their clothing these people are not as wealthy as the Royalty.

  14. Fashions of the Peasants

  15. Peasants were the working people of the Baroque period. In your notes, write two ways you can tell these are working people by the style of their clothing.
