Before the monarchies were abolished the kings owned most of the land. Second after the king of land ownership were the monastaries and churches. To be a priest or monk those days was the upper class of luxurious neetdom living.
Well tldr the church owned alot of land and the peasants were hungry. The church let the peasants do all the work farming,cleaning,washing clothes, cooking in exchange to get part of the harvest and the priests and monks could chill out, relax and brew beer all day. A life long career of neeting as a priest gets boring so they spent the whole studying stuff they enjoyed rather than wage slaving and after a life time of doing nothing else except chilling, raping nuns ,drinking beer and studying usually in their second half of their lives they made some mathematical discovery or some scientific discovery, but was a life time of work because dont forget they started school as children and only at the age of 50 making a break through on some formular meant like 44 years of lifetime study to get to that point.
People forget back in the days the upper classes lived luxurious just neeting, studying, raping peasants and drinking beer whilst the peasants had to work if they wanted food from the land for the coming winter because they were even banned from hunting the luxurious deer and wild pigs which the king and nobles wanted only for their table, even to collect firewood meant a peasant needed to wash clothes or cut firewood for some upperclass brat.
