Shoemakers were skilled craftsmen, and they were in the middle class. Shoemakers were of two types, cobblers, who repaired shoes and made inexpensive shoes, and cordwainers, who made fine shoes. Obviously, the cobblers were not as prosperous as the cordwainers, and there were doubtless a number of them who were itinerant workers, who went from village to village doing repairs for the folk. The cordwainers formed a guild in London, received the right to regulate the shoe trade in 1272, and were given a royal charger in 1439.

Why did King João I have so many wives?

But King João I [April 11, 1357-August 14, 1433] of Portugal was married only once! On February 2, 1387 he married Philippa of Lancaster [1359-July 19, 1415], daughter of John of Gaunt. The couple had six children [five males, one female], whom one of Portugal's greatest poets, Luís Vaz de Camões [c. 1524-June 10, 1580] famously described as Ínclita Geração [the Illustrious Generation]. One of João I's sons was Prince Henry the Navigator [Infante Henrique o Navegador, March 4, 1394-November 13, 1460]. João I had three children out-of-marriage with Inês Pires Estevez: Afonso, First Duke of Braganza [August 10, 1377-December 15, 1461]; Branca [1378-1379]; and Beatriz, Countess of Arundel [c. 1382-October 25, 1439].
