Pull Factors
1) A pull factor is knights and nobles. Many families would send their children to become pages, so they could become a knight or noble. However, a large population of the knights were men, so you didn't see many women carrying a sword and shield.

3) One pull factor was religion. Many people would move closer to a monastery or church, so that they could be learn more about their religion. Also, maybe they didn't want to living next to someone who didn't agree with their religion.
Push Factors

2) Another push factor is the plague. The plague or Black Death wiped out almost a third of the population. This effect a lot of people because once someone around you had it, you were very likely not to survive from it as well.
3) Another push factor was religion. A lot of people from different religions were going all over the place. A majority of them were either Jewish or Catholic and this caused a rivalry between them. This caused a lot of the crusades and wars. However, this also caused a lot of people to move because they didn't want to be living next to someone of a different religion.
