This brought many new things into Europe. Many of these new things were good, but some were bad.

The growth of commerce and industry created a class of free merchants and artisans, an incipient bourgeoisie that needed certain liberties, such as movement from place to place, the making of contracts, and the buying and selling of goods, which could not be exercised under feudal conditions of servitude. The new cities emerging in feudal rural territories made evident the need for the transformation of feudalism.
