I imagine we all know in a general way that the rich ate more meat than the 
 poor in our time; I only recently learned that meat consumption overall 
went up  in France at the end of the medieval period.

German sites as well - provides  isotopic analyses of skeletons which confirm all 
this in a more concrete  way:
