Since the 11th century the population in Europe was growing. The reason for it was, among other things, an increase in agricultural production due to a good climate.
\nA period of town foundations began which lasted over 300 years.

\nDue to its favourable location the new town rapidly attracted more and more merchants.
\nThe revenue from trade clearly exceeded the taxes from the peasants and therefore the rulers encouraged trade.
