In the middle ages, who mostly wore the tonsure?

  1. Priests

  2. Kings

  3. Soldiers

  4. Peasants

The correct answer is: Priests

In the middle ages, the tonsure was a defining hairstyle primarily worn by members of the clergy, particularly priests. This was a symbolic act of renouncing worldly beauty and devoting oneself to a life of religious devotion. While some kings and soldiers may have also adopted the tonsure for similar reasons, it was not as widespread or significant as it was for priests. Peasants, on the other hand, were less likely to have access to the religious institutions that practised the tonsure. Therefore, while some may have worn the hairstyle, it was not as common as it was among priests.
