Amusing how most people say they would be nobility. But considering that the majority of people were of the peasant variety, chances are we would've all been peasants...maybe...if we were really really fortunate we'd be tradesman...but chances are we'd be cannon fodder, farming someone else's land, mucking out stables, or something equally thrilling.

It's hard to say. These days my education and the wide range of opportunties qualify me for an academic post, tutor or something similar serving the the wealthy. In the Middle Ages none of that would have been likely due to my gender and race so I would have been another peasant. Of course, I'd have plenty of company. Most people would fall into that class.

Cosimo de Medici
He had a fine life for a man of the Middle Ages / Renaissance.

I would more then likely be in the middle class such as a blacksmith. Right now, i am not poor but absolutely not rich, so if i was back then i would more then likely be the person that would have to save up for the whole year to pay his taxes to the king.

I would mostly represent the Nobles. It depends on where your speaking of. My dad is a pastor and I a preacher so in some areas of the world we would be above the Rulers. Other areas just below. Depends on where your speaking of.

Given my gender. . .I would love to say Nobility. . .lol. . .but, most likely. .hmm. . tricky question. . .because women were not favored in those times. . .according to Greek legend, the first woman Pandora was the one who opened the forbidden box and caused illness and war to mankind =P
A healer, perhaps? A mistress. . .lol. Most likely, a peasant.

Definitely nobility. As everyone does what I tell them to, probably I'd be the QUEEN!!

I would be a knight because I have a long jousting pole.
