What was the life of a merchant in medieval Europe like?
In order to establish himself as a merchant a man needed to be free from feudal commitments; he needed financial wealth; he needed contacts among the merchant and seafaring community; he needed to know his goods in order to tell good quality from bad quality and avoid being tricked; he needed a place for storage and suitable sales outlets; he needed to know local laws and regulations on the import and export of goods, payment of taxes, prohibited goods and so on. For these reasons it was often the son of a merchant who took over his father's business when he retired or died. This allowed him to simply take over where the father left off, with all the contacts and trade knowledge he needed. We know from the wills of medieval merchants that businesses were often legally transferred to an eldest son.
Was the daily life of a merchant in medieval times?
A merchant would often go to the market and sell his goods. Then like any other person a merchant will go to church and pray because if not they would most likely get punished by the Lord or even put to death for not respecting God. When a merchant or serf was finished praying they would help around the house with cleaning, cooking, taking care of kids, or farming the land.
