In that period, education was not the province of the nobility but of the church. A intelligent and idealistic young man or woman would have a very obvious outlet for their intelligence and idealism, and an opportunity for an education, by joining a monastery. Monasteries were not just the seats of religious thought and learning. They were centers of science and engineering and economics. Upward mobility within that society was very much available through the church, and a monastery would give opportunities for intellect and idealism to be realized in many different ways.
