USE THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH TO COMPLETE THE GRAPHIC ORGANIZER The Growth of Medieval Towns During the High Middle Ages (1000 to 1300), towns arose throughout Europe. Castles became castle towns: Towns sprung up just outside the walls of the castle. If things got dicey, merchants and craftsmen could always hide inside the castle. Why did towns rise? Because of the REVIVAL OF TRADE! One, the feudal system provided peace, order, and stable local government. Two, merchants felt safe to travel along the rivers and roadways. Three, merchants and craftsmen began to live in the town permanently. The population increased and folks moved into towns to get jobs. Lastly, Serfs ran away from the manor: If you lived in a town for a year and a day, you became a free man. For the first time in history, there was a rise of the MIDDLE CLASS. The producers were craftsmen - who worked in workshops. It also included bakers, brewers, goldsmiths, tailors, weavers, etc. The consumers were townsmen craftsmen and merchants. Merchants were the middlemen - they sold goods at stalls in the market. The town had self-government. Members of a guild were elected to run the town. So how did towns win the right to self-government? They convinced the lord, who owned the land on which the town stood, to grant them a charter. The Guild - An association of craftsmen regulated everything in that trade, regulated crafts. Peasants learned crafts by becoming an apprentice. He learned his craft from a master craftsman. Trade affected the Middle Ages because people began to do new things. They practiced self-government, they began to use money, they began to travel, they begin to think about the larger world and exchange new ideas. Eventually, the middle class will challenge the political power of the nobility. WHEN? WHY? Why did towns spring up? When did towns arise in Medieval Europe?
