kc55 I need to discuss the castle marketplace for my school project, and I have a few questions. First, what were some diseases found in the marketplace, and what caused them? Also, what were the benefits of having a permanent cart as apposed to a moveable one? And lastly, where can I find pictures (either drawings or real pictures) of medieval marketplaces? I know this is a lot, but I really need help! Thanks!
Maria Well, normaly the market wasn't inside the castle. You could find permanent markets in towns(the subject of diseases being connected with the subject of dirty towns), and markets were organised near vilages, something like once a week. People came from miles around to sell their merchandise. More about how this was done on http://www.warrington.gov.uk/entertainment/heritage/market.htm , where you'll find some pictures.
Pictures also on http://www.granta.demon.co.uk/92003mm.html
