"Towns of the Middle Ages"IntroductionAs you learned in this chapter, towns developed during the Middle Ages due to the increase in trade. Merchants, tired of moving around, settled near castles or monasteries. Over time, the towns became more than simply trade centers. They became communities in which people lived. What was life in these communities like? How did the lives of the peasants, the wealthy, and the clergy differ?
