How much tax did a blacksmith pay in the middle ages?

Answer 1

If another tradesman, a carpenter for example, needed a tool, something else might be worked out. If the carpenter needed new chisels, the smith might make a set in exchange for having some woodworking done.

Answer 2

Answer:

A blacksmith was paid in either gold, or food. (chicken, wine, flour, wheat, etc.)

Answer:

Barter might have prevailed in the first three centuries of the Middle Ages, but after that a lot of commerce was done with money. Blacksmiths were often serfs on manors, and as such they would have been given part of the crop, and probably often would have been paid in kind for work done for other individual serfs. But when the work involved someone from outside the manor, it would very likely have been done for coin.

The coinage in most of Western Europe was based on Charlemagne's revival of the old Roman denarius, a small silver coin about the size of a US cent, and weighing roughly one and a half grams. In fact the English penny, its denomination abbreviated "d" because it was the denier or denarius, was practically the only money in circulation in England for 500 years during the Middle Ages.

Answer 3

Blacksmiths made armory and repairs for the armies. They made and sold weapons and horse shoes. The Blacksmith did anything that involved working iron to a desired shape and hardness. These included swords, horse shoes, armor for solders, keys, locks, shields, daggers, lances, arrow heads, tools, nails, doors, portcullis, chains, instruments, knives, ornaments, decorative objects, and jewelry.

Answer 4

A blacksmith could have been a serf who had a specialized skill. Or a blacksmith could be an independent craftsman, and so of the middle class.
