Craftsmen are busy at the tower. The bardelier, manufacturer of wooden shingles, works to build the village.

The blacksmith forges or shapes iron or steel. It is essential to the smooth running of the seigniory. Iron tools and objects are omnipresent in medieval life and make these craftsmen keystones of medieval society.
