Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the economic and social dynamics of the Franco-Flemish region during the 13th and 14th centuries, highlighting its strategic location between the Holy Roman Empire and the North Sea. The urban centers thrived, becoming populous trade hubs second only to Italian city-states. Prosperity led to the formation of guilds, which played a crucial role in safeguarding the rights, working conditions, and wages of their members, fostering a strong sense of community among the Flemish citizens.
