What kind of people lived in the medieval towns?

Answer 1

Answer relating to physical attributesMedieval people practically looked somewhat like we do today. We have not really evolved that much in appearance since that time.

Because of differences in diets and genentics the average medieval man was about 5' 7''.

Answer relating to clothingMedieval clothing varied from very plain, at the beginning and for all poor people, to very fancy and fine, for later, wealthier people. Also fashions were different in different parts of Europe. There is a discussion on medieval clothing at the related question below, and it has links to articles at other sites.

Answer 2

AnswerThe Medieval people are the people who lived in the middle ages, they also worked hard. Their life was depending on the farms and most of there products comes from there too. The serfs were the ones who did most of the farming and the cropping. They farmed for the person who gave them the land and also for themselves. AnswerMost people were serfs or agricultural workers, and some who lived in villages, towns, and cities were at the same level. There were other classes as well, including freemen (free peasants), middle class, clergy, and nobility. The middle class included lawyers, physicians, but had a number of other jobs that were not nearly as financially rewarding, such as baking, making cheese, inn keeping, and others.
