The Coppergate Market was a market street in York, England during the Medieval period. At its height, the market housed a vast variety of merchants ranging from craftsmen to weavers to glassmakers. In addition to merchants selling good froms wood to bones, slaves were also sold at the market.^[1]

History

In 874, Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan strolled through Coppergate Market and searched for any transactions or mentions from the dockmaster Grigorii. Through her investigation, Eivor tried to bribe owners with silver for information about Grigorii but to no avail. However, Eivor soon discovered that The Needle operates past a statue near the market from a young boy. Eivor followed all the clues and found an entrance to the Red Hand's hideout.^[2]

In 885, merchant Thorsteinn Silvertongue and his wife Gunnhilda Gunnarsdottir owned a stall at Coppergate Market. One day, after moving crates to the stall together with Trygg, Thorstein was approached by Bjorn. He told Thorsteinn about his troubles with selling his wares, and how he ended up with a lot of debts. He asked Thorsteinn for his help, which was granted as Thorsteinn gave him several things to sell to get the debt collectors off his back.^[3]
