The urban middle class is represented by a Haberdasher, a Carpenter, a Weaver, a Dyer and a Tapestry Maker. They are all dressed in the same livery as a sign of their membership to an important fraternity. They do not hesitate to show their wealth. Their daggers, belts and other equipment are made of the finest materials and richly decorated with silver. They have hired their own cook for the pilgrimage.
