Late Middle Ages
  • Time of Cities and States (1000-1500)

  • It is 'safer' and 'calmer'
  • There is more trade
  • Money makes a comeback
  • Population is growing
  • Cities are created

agrarian-urban society: a society in which most people still live in the countryside and work in agriculture, but in which there are also cities with merchants and craftsmen.

Slide 9 - Diapositive

Is money positive?
  • Kingdoms and cities almost all had their own currency, so you had to exchange it all the time to trade. 
  • One advantage was that trade and industry increased.

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Trading cities
  • During this period, long-distance trade also grew, that is, between different areas in Europe and even beyond.

  • Cities that earned their money mainly from this type of trade are called trading cities

The Hanseatic League
  • Most towns had a square where markets were held.
  • The most important market was the annual fair, which lasted several weeks.
  • Many traders traveled from fair to fair.

  • A group of cities in Europe worked together to increase trade
  • They called their association the Hanseatic League.
Dit is een plattegrond van Deventer, een van de Hanze-steden.
A trading association of cities along the North Sea and Baltic Sea that was at its most powerful in about 1350.

Handelaren van Hanzesteden hadden allerlei voordeeltjes als ze handelden in elkaars steden. Ze betaalden bijvoorbeeld minder tol en belasting.
