Hello, I'm going to talk about the society and everyday life in the urban society. Okay,

1
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:23,000
the Burgos constitute a new social group, which based its position on activities like

2
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:32,000
ownership and a work in the land. The urban, no sorry, they divided into several groups

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:41,000
according to their wealth. The urban aristocracy was the minority group. It was composed by

4
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:53,000
the leader of the major guiles, wealthy merchants and bankers, who took over control of the

5
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:01,000
city government. Then were the commoners that were the rest of the population, and were

6
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:10,000
the master craftsmen of the guiles and small traders, and they were the intermediary. Then

7
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,000
the lower were the urban masses that included the journeymen, the pistons, the guile apprentice,

8
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:27,000
and the poor and marginalized jobless. In some cities were also minorities like the Jewish,

9
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:36,000
who live in separate neighborhoods that were called Jewish quarters or alhamas, and they

10
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:52,000
were engaged in lending, handicrafts, trade, and medicine. Now I'm going to talk about the women

11
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:01,000
in society. Okay, women took care of their husband's fathers, and they were engaged in many

12
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:13,000
jobs like a mermaid, saleswomen, and craftswomen of various trades. They were also a goldsmith

13
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:28,000
and a silversmith. In some trades that were carried out by women, they were singers, actresses,

14
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:42,000
dancers, ironers, and many others. Okay, life in the city evolved on its streets and squares. They

15
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:50,000
were noisy and busy places where the daily work of the craftsmen and street trading took place. We

16
00:02:50,000 --> 00:03:03,000
could find all kinds of people like puppeteers, jugglers, and newcomers. These newcomers were in

17
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:12,000
some cases serfs who had fled from their masters. If they remained in the city for a year and a day,

18
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:25,000
they became free citizens, and they could no longer be bound to their former relationship

19
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:35,000
with the feudal lord. On feast days, cities were cleaned and were covered with straw and reeds.

20
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Men go to taverns and they talk, they play with cards, they drink, they eat, and the city dwellers

21
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:51,000
wear their best clothes, and they dance, they celebrate with the parties, and these were

22
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
organized by the guilds.
