Money
In the Middle Ages economy, money was in the form of metal coins. The type of metal determined how much a coin cost, with the most valuable ones being copper, silver and gold. The coins not only varied in the type of metal they were made of but also in shape, size, weight, metal purity and the inscriptions on them.
Types of Jobs
The most common job in the medieval economy was that of a peasant farmer who worked in the manors of their lords. Each manor was made up of a number of acres in which the peasant farmers would work in to produce food for their villages and lords. In addition to farming, the farmers also kept sheep and the women were in charge of shearing the sheep, spinning the wool and sewing the clothes.
Other economic occupations included artisans who produced commodities made from glass, wood, clay and iron. The artisans included weavers, shoemakers, masons, blacksmiths, tailors and carpenters. Other common jobs included working as bakers, beer brewers, millers and vintners. As trade increased toward the end of the medieval times, merchants became very important.
See you tomorrow, because the people wants to kill the king because he stole money from the people 😬
I liked your blog because you included good information and the part that I liked was when you talked about the works and mentioned that the women were in charge of spinning the wool and sewing the clothes.
