Some scholars believe these restrictions were enforced to make the prostitutes go to church but others argue that it was to keep parishioners in church and out of the brothels.

One limitation prohibited prostitutes from borrowing money from their brothel keeper. Prostitutes paid high prices to the brothel keeper for the basic necessities of room and board, clothes, and toiletries. Room and board pricing was often set by the local government but the price for everything else could add up to a common woman's entire earnings. Prostitutes were sometimes prohibited from having a special lover. Some regulations put on prostitutes were made to protect their clients. A woman was kicked out if she was found to have a sexually transmitted disease. The prostitutes were not allowed to pull men into the brothel by their clothing, harass them in the street, or detain them over unpaid debts.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKarras199632–47_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKarras199632–47-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Clothing worn by prostitutes was regulated and had to be distinguishable from that of respectable women. In some places, a prostitute had to have a yellow stripe on her clothing while in others red was the differentiating color. Other towns required harlots to don special headdresses or restricted the wardrobe of proper women. The restrictions placed on prostitutes were put in place not only to protect them but also nearby citizens. </p><p>Because of a <a href="/wiki/Syphilis" title="Syphilis">syphilis</a> epidemic throughout Europe, many brothels were shut down during the end of the Middle Ages.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This epidemic had been brought on by Spanish and French military pillages after the return of Christopher Columbus from the newly discovered Americas. The church and citizens alike feared that men who frequented brothels would bring the disease home and infect morally upright people. </p><p>From the 12th century, brothels in London were located in a district known as the <a href="/wiki/Liberty_of_the_Clink" title="Liberty of the Clink">Liberty of the Clink</a>. This area was traditionally under the authority of the <a href="/wiki/Bishop_of_Winchester" title="Bishop of Winchester">Bishop of Winchester</a>, not the civil authorities.
