Markets grow into cities

Craftsmen and guilds
  • In the cities, people started to trade all kinds of products
  • Other people started to learn a craft. They specialised in different areas. For instance, blacksmithing, leatherworking, shoemaking, baker, carpenter.
  • To make things easier for new craftsmen, they often gathered in guilds. Guilds were associations of people who had the same job.

5.2: City Rights
Most cities were under the rule of a lord, who, in return, was under the rule of the king. 

--> Cities grew to large proportions. Rulers wanted more influence and power

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

City Rights
Burghers (free people) wanted something in return for paying high taxes. 
--> Lords and burghers came to an agreement 
--> Cities received city rights 

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Examples of city rights
  • Right to organise markets
  • Right to build city walls
  • Right to collect money from merchants
  • Right to punish criminals
  • Right to produce their own currency/coins
  • Right to store goods and sell them without permission of the lord.

Slide 17 - Tekstslide

Low countries lords still hold control by:
  • Appointing a schout (representative of the lord) 
    --> He kept everything in check and was announced leader of the schepenen. 
  • Appointing Schepenen
    --> Group of people that controlled the city. 
    --> Tasks like solving crimes / judging criminals / collecting taxes etc.
