Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the Middle Ages in Europe, cities often held their own jurisdiction and had economic freedoms. As centers of commerce and trade, many cities formed their own governing bodies and had a level of independence from feudal lords or kings. They also developed their own legal systems and regulations for trades and commerce. While some cities were granted as fiefs to lords, this was not true for all cities. Guilds did play a role in the economic and social structure of cities, but they were not the sole governing body.
