 Ministerials could be drawn from different occupational groups.In Salzburg, Austria a Timo appears in 1125/47 in the "traditionsbuch" (book of traditions) as a "miles" (knight) of the archiepiscopal ministerialage who functioned as burgrave and also as a merchant.By the 12th century a distinction was made between greater ministerials ("ministeriales maiores") who had their own vassals and lesser ministerials ("ministeriales minores") who had no vassals of their own.
