Daily Life !

Everyday life in the middle ages was controlled by wealth, power, and status in the society. Half of the day people spent working on land, and trying to grow enough food to survive another year. Medieval villages usually consisted of mostly farmers. They traded a lot of goods, the most successful good that was traded was salt.
          Most people say that in the middle ages people dressed a little weird. Most of the modern clothing was rags, rags was the most popular thing to have on in the middle ages. Clothes back in those days were made out of cheap clothing but were still good clothes. The wealthy people made their clothes out of fine silk, sturdy, woolen fabrics. The more commonly wore softer silk and linen. They usually made clothes so they wouldn't fall apart or rip. Clothes were made to be worn, and worn until the clothing was no longer able to be worn. Like if the shirt or pants ripped or fell apart that's when they would wear that peice of clothing anymore. Sometimes clothes come back in style over time. Clothing from the middle ages not to many of those came back in style!
