Detailed explanation-1: -Towns and cities were filthy, the streets open sewers; there was no running water and knowledge of hygiene was non-existent. Dung, garbage and animal carcasses were thrown into rivers and ditches, poisoning the water and the neighbouring areas. Fleas, rats, and mice flourished in these conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -How did new farming methods contribute to the growth of medieval European towns? People who lived in towns could start to raise their own food. Towns became less crowded as families moved to the country. Enough crops were grown to sell to people who lived in towns.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many towns became independent by purchasing a royal charter. A charter granted them the right to govern themselves, make laws, and raise taxes. Free towns were often governed by a mayor and a town council. Power gradually shifted from feudal lords to the rising class of merchants and craftspeople.
