During the Modern Age as the Middle Age the society in Madrid was organized in the Feudal System,it was divided in three different groups called:the clergy,the nobles and the workers.The nobles and the clergy were privileged estates,they didn't pay taxes and had privileges positions in the society and government.The workers weren't a privilegde estate because they had to pay taxes and didn't have any range in politic.This division of people affect each other because there were people with a lot money and power;and other with nothing but nowdays is happens the same.The Clergy had a lot of power,they were situated in high positions in the society,and the government proporcionated all the things that they want;for example,the lived in residences of rich families,the churchs and the monasteries were build with the most expensive materials with many figures of saints,statues and decorations.The nobles had a lot of power and money and they controlled the fiefs.The problems were that they were powerful but they want more power.They live in luxury places.The rich people had own lands,so they build luxury homes and palaces.For example the royal Alcazar or the council palace were places in which the nobles and king lived.The clergy lived in big monasteries.For example the Monastery of San Jeronimo.The religion in the 16th century was predominated by the Christianism.In the 16th century religion had problems with the corruption in the Christian church when the money enter.The good positions were ocuped by the family of the important religious persons as the Pope and many abuses occurs as:nepotism,pluralism,simony etc.Later In 17th century the Protestans appeared and with this appearence took place many wars of religions that the catholics won but the protestants didn't stop because they want more equality.So the Clergy continued had power and money.
