Didn't people in the olden days also see the castles and mansions of the rich on a daily basis?

  Daily I very much doubt because it’s not like most people were commuting to work. Would you sometimes see them, sure, but people also had a belief system that would have done more to justify the social order, and it would probably be limited to provincial elites for most.

    Weren't a lot of towns built basically surrounding a castle? I guess people in towns would see wealthy people often, but people in remote farms and villages wouldn't. I'm not sure exactly what wealth is being rubbed in my face today. News about rich people? I would assume there would also be news and gossip about rich people back then too.
