Answer:

The Fourth Order: New Towns and Townspeople

- Agricultural expansion was followed by growth in population, trade and towns.

Population growth in Europe:

1000 AD 42 million

1200 AD 62 million

1300 AD 73 million

Better food increased also increased the life span by 10 years.

Deserted Roman towns started to grow again when agriculture increased and was able to sustain higher levels of population.

Peasants who had surplus grain to sell needed a place to sell them which led to the growth of selling centres where people could buy tools and cloth.

Periodic fairs and small marketing centres came up which developed features of modern towns.

A town square

Church

Roads where merchants bought and sold

Office of town governors

Towns grew around large castles, bishop’s estates or churches.

In towns, taxes were common. People paid taxes to the lord who owned the land on which the town was built.

Towns were a good place for serfs who wanted freedom to hide from their masters.

Shopkeepers, merchants, bankers and lawyers—skilled labour—emerged and formed what came to be known was the fourth order.

Each craft or industry was organised into a guild. A guild was an association which controlled the quality, price and sale of every product.

‘Guild-hall’ was a feature of every town. It was meant for ceremonial functions and served as a meeting place.

By the 11th century, new trade routes were developing with West Asia. Merchants were travelling southward to exchange furs and hunting hawks for cloth

Merchants continued to grow in number and wealth and soon became an influential power in the towns.
