Of course they did. Until the printing press, most European societies forbade peasants learning to read or write, because educated people start getting ideas, and can exchange information in secret over long distances. The Church was the only learnin' peasants need, and The Church teaches blind obedience to authority. The King wouldn't be King if God didn't want it.
