History - Population, Growth and an Expanding Economy c.900-1300

Urban Origins: Roman Legacy

PLANNED TOWNS - deciding to create a town on an estate, e.g SALISBURY ... relocation in 1220

Usually developed around churches

Markets also developed - so towns followed.

The consequences of all this...

Expansion of towns was at the same time as rural expansion.

In England, towns have anglo-origins.

In towns each one is granted an aspect of trade

Growth of trade controlled by Lords

What did people do?

People moved long distances: eg Christians during Crusades + Normans into Sicily

People began to argue as areas filled up, so people explored further.

Forests cleared to make room for people.

Numerous empty spaces between villages, can sow there.

Overall problem...

To get better food production you need more labour, to get more labour you need more food. VICIOUS CIRCLE

Movement and Migration

Better Lands

Search for food

Deaths

Fluctuating death rate related to food supply and diet.

Malnutrition

Death rate: No modern medicine, vulnerable to disease.

Births

End of slavery and concept of monastacism

Age of marriage important

Birth rate (fertility) can be effected by famine

Factors determining size and control...

Population..

Population figures also relate to climate - warm period is same time as population growth. this is not causal.

then dramatically slashed...

Population first doubled to 73 million
