11 Social Structure of the Holy Roman Empire The Princes: The autocratic rulers who exploited peasants and centralized their territory. The Lesser Nobility: Made obsolete by military science and gunpowder. The Clergy: Bishops, archbishops, abbots, and priors who exploited the peasants. The Patricians: Wealthy families who sat in administrative offices. Also exploited peasants. The Burghers: Middle class citizens who were merchants or guild administrators. The Plebeians: Urban workers, journeymen, and vagabonds. They held no land. The Peasants: The lowest part of HRE society, they were basically property.

12 Trading The Holy Roman Empire s main route was the Black Sea. They traded food, jewels, wine, spices, clothing, and coal. Once the Silk Road was created, trading with China was much easier. The Black Sea as seen on a European map

13 Religion After the Protestant Reformation, the HRE was divided between Catholic and Protestant rulership. The Peace of Augsburg ended conflict between German Lutherans and Catholics.
