Weavers and fullers in a medieval or fantasy town: how many, and where
About one household of weavers and fullers for every 2,000 townspeople. Counted as masters and heads of household: journeymen, apprentices and servants come on top. The Paris tax roll of 1292 names 110 of them, for a city of about 220,000 people: only those who paid the taille, so fewer than there were. About as common as smiths and goldsmiths.
| Townspeople | Households |
|---|---|
| 3,000 | 2 |
| 10,000 | 5 |
| 40,000 | 20 |
| 150,000 | 76 |
