In most european countries, at this time period, only the wealthy were able to afford education for their children; they employed one or more private tutours to school the child in various subjects. The children of commonfolk would generally learn the skills of their same-sex parent (which often did not include reading) and then either take over their business, or the more fortunate would be taken on as an apprentice to a craftsman (a Farrier, or Miller perhaps), and learn that trade.
