THE APPEARANCE OF THE BOURGEOISIE
• The growth of cities transformed feudal society.
• Kings, nobles and clergy conceded more personal freedom and rights to their subjects
• As a result, a new social class was formed: the bourgeoisie.

CITY GOVERMENT
• Cities were governed by magistrates, who worked under the mayor in the areas of finance, order and justice.
• Over time, this resulted in cities being governed by the richest families, who made up a privileged group called urban patricians

CULTURE
• During the 12th century, the bourgeoisie and the nobles began to develop an appreciation for knowledge.
• This appreciation, together with economic and urban growth, led to the development of schools, and later universities
