What is the total amount of crusades there were?
The total amount of crusades there was 8. The whole point in the crusades was pretty much trying to take over the holy land. Kings, nobles, knights, peasants (serfs), and towns people where involved in the crusades.
Why were medieval towns so crowded?
Medieval towns were crowded because serfs wanted more freedom and moved out of the manor land to towns.
Where did a medieval lord live?
Medieval ladies usually lived in manor houses. Sometimes they lived in castles. Especially in the later part of the Middle Ages, some members of the nobility had town houses in towns or cities, so a few ladies lived in these.
What type of house did a medieval blacksmith live in?
Blacksmiths had to learn their skills through apprenticeship. This put them a bit above the ordinary peasant, but not much. They lived in villages and towns, but most of the villages were on manors, and so the houses in them were mostly peasant cottages. Presumably, the blacksmiths could afford to live in better houses than many of the peasants, but there were other people on manors who also had skills that put them slightly above the ordinary workers, and these included any weavers, potters, and carpenters, who happened to be there, along with the reeves and other officers of the serfs. So the blacksmith's house would not have been much better than that of serfs. There is a link below to an article on serfs' houses.
Where did serfs live in the Middle Ages?
Most serfs lived on manors. These were farming estates that belonged to lords, and whose residents were mostly serfs. The serfs typically lived in a village or hamlet on the manor, in cottages. Some serfs were not agricultural and worked as laborers. They typically lived in cottages in villages or boarding houses in towns.
