Most high status people aren't very bright. Their ancestors were the sons and daughters of the ruling upper class, meaning landowners which essentially meant the biggest and most savage warriors who were rewarded with lands after 1066.
Once they have that land there is absolutely no need to work hard or try to better yourself or your offspring intellectually, what you really needed to do is stay in favour with the other robber barons and the king. So you inter marry with their offspring and spend your time hunting, wenching and sucking up to tthe monarach. Which is how some of my wife's family members managed to stay in the company of the King's and Queens of England from the 12th century right up until the 20th century.
