What was the job of a freeman in medieval times?

Answer 1

AnswerA free man was anyone who was not a serf. A freeman was a citizen of a town or city and usually a fully qualified craftsman who had successfully completed his apprenticeship in the city or town concerned. The crafts concerned ranged from goldsmiths at the upper end to tailors and bakers, who were often at the lower end. A handful of women were granted the status of freeman provided they were duly qualified. For example, there are a few cases of women who were made freemen because they were qualified brewers. (Just to avoid misunderstanding, this referred to the ability to run a brewery, not to home brewing!). AnswerThe word freeman was usually used for peasants who were not serfs. The meanings of most words changed with time, but in general, there were two types of people who were freemen, one was tenants, and the other was yeomen or franklins.

Tenants did not have the manorial obligations of serfs, but paid rent instead and could run their own lives with more freedom. They also did not have the rights of serfs, and could be made to leave their farms when their lease expired.

Yeomen, who were also sometimes included in the group of freemen, owned their own farms, which were small, on the order of 30 to 120 acres, about 12 to 50 hectares. They did not not usually have serfs or tenants of their own, but they often did have servants and farm hands working for them and living on their farms.
