MEDIEVAL ECONOMICS\n\nThe people of the former Roman province of Britain in the 5th and 6th Centuries had to make their living in difficult circumstances. Around them lay the ruins of imperial grandeur. In the cities, public buildings and private houses were in decay; on the frontiers, the forts were abandoned; in the country, the aristocratic villas were crumbling. This was not just a matter of physical decline or political change because as the Roman state was dismantled, so roads, bridges and ports were neglected, the coinage disappeared, government spending ceased and the elite of the armed forces and civil administration were no longer employing labor or consuming goods on a large scale. Trade dwindled and the former mass-producing industries collapsed. The native British population faced major upheavals in their way of life, including unemployment and a breakdown in law and order. The German immigrants from across the North Sea, who had been attracted by the opulence of the province, had to adapt to a changing society. \n\nWithout trade, easy communications or imperial government, the cities could not provide a living for a large population and almost everyone lived in the countryside. Here again they had no alternative but to adapt to a restricted economy. Apart from problems of security there would be no more large surpluses to be sold in the towns. The villas were taken over by succeeding generations of native British or Anglo-Saxon immigrants who put up buildings of wood. In some cases the territory around the villa persisted as an estate unit and the owners obtained tribute from the local peasants. \n\nThe priority of country-dwellers lay in providing for their own subsistence. In southern and eastern England they lived in timber houses often measuring 15 by 30 feet, associated with smaller structures with sunken floors built for storage, craft work (such as weaving) and accomodations for servants and dependants. \n\nEven in the reduced circumstances of the post-Roman recession, households could not meet all of their consumption requirements from their own resources. They wove their own cloth and no doubt built their own houses and made implements from wood. But they needed iron weapons and farming tools and women wore ornate jewelry manufactured from copper alloy. These could only be supplied by specialists with crfating skills and raw materials so some surpluses from the land were exchanged. \n\nA society with an emphasis on production for use and which had limited facilities for exchange was not likely to be deeply stratified. Elites collected foodstuffs from the peasants in some form but they had limited ways of disposing of goods once they satisfied their followers. While the people of 5th and 6th Century England adapted successfully to their post-imperial world, this was still a traumatic process. The losses of population far outweighed the gains from migration partly as a result of plague epidemics in the 6th Century, but more as uncertainties and the lack of economic opportunity discouraged marriage and child-rearing. We can only make an educated guess at the overall figures but the sparsity of settlements, the abandonment of towns and the retreat of cultivation could point to at least halving the population. Thus numbers fell from a peak of perhaps 5 million in the 2nd Century to less than 2 million by 600 AD.

That also depends on what you mean by "medieval people"....\n\nI presume we're talking about medieval people in England, and you should be aware that English changed rapidly over the years that you might consider to be 'medieval times'.\n\nThe venerable Bede, a monk who lived in 7th/8th centuries,  wrote 'English' in a way almost totally unrecognisable even to people like Chaucer who lived from 1343-1400.\n\nBede is probably pre-medieval, I suppose for England Medieval means 900-1485 or so (the end of the wars of the Roses- our little mini-civil war, I think that's the date).  In the 10th century there were all kinds of viking invasions to England, which changed the language in one way, then in 1066 the normans conquered English bringing in alot of french influence to the language which is why its so different. between Bede and Chaucer, Chaucer and, i dunno, Shakespeare. (circa 1600- which is Early modern, not medieval- as the language mixed.\n\nLook at the history bit of this:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language\n\nSo... what do you mean by medieval?  That;s the thing. But i suppose Chaucer is what you want, also, look up the "Magna Carta" from 1215, it was the legal document defining the balance of power between the King and the aristocracy at the time of King John (in case you didnt know)

Another homework question.....how about looking in your book?  You don't provide a time frame or what PART of EUROPE to which you are referring.  You can get assistance if you direct your question more narrowly.

he few roads that still existed were in a bad state, bridges were scarce, and brigands were common. For this reason during the Dark Ages, which lasted until about 1000 A.D., populations were tightly bound to the land surrounding the feudal lord's castle. People moved about only when there were festivals in other cities. These were the only occasions on which people could buy or look at different goods and have a chance to sell their own food or objects and fabrics made for sale. Fear controlled people’s lives and induced them to ask for protection from powerful warriors who had constructed well-defended castles, or from monasteries, which did not have soldiers but did have thick walls to hide behind. Life was hard, and , people thought little of clothing. Clothes were often made at home and were often rough and shapeless. Trousers, tunics and shawls were used to keep away the cold. The shawls were made of wool or fur and put over the shoulder. Most Europeans were dressed like today’s Benedictine monks, except for men’s trousers. Shoes were leather wrapped around the foot. Colors were plain; they were shades of gray, brown, dark blue and red. Conical hats were commonly worn.\n\nThis was a pyramidal society because the classes of people were in a shape of a pyramid.. with the kings and queens at the top of the pyramid (and were few in number) down to the peasants (who were many in number). In the middle were feudal lords, clerics, and others, such as vassals.\n\nTAILORING\nIn the Middle Ages, for the wealthy, most clothes were created by tailors. Some fabrics tailors used were : Burnet, perse, lincoln scarlet, kersey, russet, chalons, damask, and sandal. (Most of the population, however, made their clothing themselves).\n\nCLOTHING\nOften, kings and queens would wear crowns and brightly colored silks. Obviously, their clothing was very expensive and only they had enough money to afford such beautiful things.\n\nShoemakers and their spouses often wore borealis hats. The clothes they wore with that were woolen coats with fur-trimmed sleeves. Inside the coat was a woolen doublet.\n\nHoly orders, such as friars, wore cloaks with hoods and habits. On their clothes was a rope belt with wooden beads for counting prayers.\n\nFelt hats with stirrups and brown jackets were the daily wear of manor lords. Peasants' daily wear was simple: straw hats that they made themselves, linen shirts that they made themselves, leather flasks, hoses (pants), and pewter badges or good luck charms.
