Gabe: Good Morning squire today is a very big day! King Richard and I have been planning a raid on a nearby Muslim controlled town, it is rumored to have many riches like gold crosses and jewel encrusted bibles.
You: This sounds fantastic, I cannot wait!
Gabe: Not so fast squire. We have to get you some new armor and something to defend yourself with.
You: thank you my lord!
You go down to the weapons marketplace and then Gabe shows you some things you can buy.
Thanks to the recent crusades the towns have been revived with more people inhabiting them and many traders going through the major cities to sell their goods, this has created a "revival of trade and towns" so to speak and it spread wealth and happiness all around the kingdom further creating one large middle class. This RoT and GoT did lead to the black death which caused deaths of almost 50 million people this put a HUGE dent in Europe's population and the crusades "put a band-aid" on the entire population of europe

All prices are including the tithe the 1/10th income tax. The tithe was a tax for the church and it was one of the sources of income for the church (this practice is similar to the third pillar of islam "Zakat" in which people must pay a small amount of money to charity). Today land tax and other taxes are similar to tithe in the sense that the money goes to public buildings and services.
