Life+In+Towns.

__Life In Towns. __ Life in towns were dirty, crowded and smelly. Towns started popping up around Europe because trade increased and you could get more freedom and better pay if you lived in a town. People in towns were not apart of a fuedal manor. "Some castles were built adjacent to large towns and could purchase goods and supplies from the local merchant."(Blackwood, 24) People had something they could speacialize in. People in towns had many ways to entertain themselves during their free time. Life in towns were terrible. Crime and Punishment was severe. If you were accused of something you would go through a trial. Thrown in a well Fighting-God would let the right one win. Punishments:  Bibliography: __Blackwood, Gary L. Life in a Medieval Castle.
