2. Read the following extract and answer the question that follow
   The "Three Orders", the "Peace of God", Knights and the Crusades
   The idea of the 'Three Orders" was first formulated in France in the early 11th century. It divided society into three classes, those who prayed, those who fought and those who tilled the land. This division of society into "Three Orders" was supported by the Church to consolidate its dominant role in society. This helped the emergence of a new warrior group called knights.
   The Church patronised this group and used them to propagate their idea of "Peace of God". The attempt was to direct warriors away from conflict amongst themselves and send them instead on a campaign against the Muslims who had captured the city of Jerusalem. This led to a series of campaigns called the crusades. These campaigns in the service of God and the Church completely altered the status of knights. Originally, these knights did not belong to the class of nobles. But by the end of the 11th century in France and a century later in Germany, the humble origins of these warriors were forgotten. By the 12th century, nobles also wanted to be known, as knights.
   What is the idea of 'Peace of God'?
