An apprentice was an unpaid worker being trained in a craft. Boys became apprentices at the age of 12 and 15.
The knights were a very important part of medieval society. They protected the land and in return they recieved lands and titles, as well as every day necessities.
Homes had thatched roofs and were very flammable.
Towns were filled with waste and trash because people dumped their waste on the streets. This led to diseases spreading and many sicknesses.
The Roman Catholic Church was very powerful, and churches and cathedrals would have been present in most medieval towns. The Church held many government jobs, made laws, built courts, and had the power to excommunicate.
The peasants could move away to a town and improve their lives. They could earn enough money to pay for more than their basic needs and move up to the middle class.
Unlike the manor, a town was not self-sufficient. They relied on the trade and exchange of goods and services throughout the other towns.
