Who is a famous cobbler?

Answer 1

The word cobbler comes from Middle English and Anglo-Norman French cobeler, cobbeler or cobler, a man who patched and repaired old shoes. Such men were considered to have very low status, unskilled and their work was often of very poor quality. The saying that something is "cobbled together" reflects this idea of poor workmanship.

So there were no famous cobblers in medieval times; even the much more skilled shoemakers called cordewaners were simple craftsmen and like silversmiths, stonemasons and carpenters they are almost completely anonymous.
