Life was very hard in the Middle Ages. Most people didn't live past 30 years old and 90% of the population was poor. In the Middle Ages people were babies and then grown up. A seven year old was sent to an apprenticeship with someone or if they were noble they were sent another noble for training as a knight. Then, at the age of 21 they became a knight. It was a very dirty time in history. Streets were filled with garbage, mud, animal feces, and things thrown out of windows. Some reports tell of smelling places before getting to them. People didn't take baths or wash clothes and the poor lived in wattle huts. These were one room with dirt floors and a fireplace. Castles weren't much better because they were cold , drafty, and dirty. Rats were everywhere and people had fleas.

Who gained more power as medieval towns grew?
usually Medieval Towns were part of a kingdom that is ruled by a king. So, technically a king ruled the Medieval Towns ----- In the earlier Middle Ages, the towns were largely under the control of the local lords, who answered to monarchs. But the local lords often lost control of the towns, as merchant and craft groups became stronger, which began in the Early Middle Ages. In the later parts of the Middle Ages, the political power in towns was often held by guilds or groups of guilds acting together. Some towns and cities, called communes, had republican governments. Some were independent of any monarch, and this was especially true in Italy. Others, though locally republican, were at least nominally subject to a king or emperor.
