	'''Fairs''' were big events held in large [[square]]s in cities, or more often in the fields surrounding the city. Fairs were generally annual events, lasting about a month, where traders travelled long distances to bring [[luxury]] goods to sell, and many people from smaller towns might make their yearly trip into town while the fair was open, to sell their produce (e.g. [[livestock]]) or pick up special items (e.g. finely woven [[cloth]]).
