Timeline of Flemish Weavers

Source A: Historical overview of Flemish weaving

'The Flemish weaving industry flourished from the 12th century, reaching its peak in the 16th century, characterized by innovations in textile production and trade expansion. Weavers migrated from rural areas to cities, establishing guilds to regulate quality and prices. The industry faced decline in the 17th century due to economic shifts and political conflicts.'

Source B: Excerpt from a historian on the industry
