Marriage and family were also huge parts of a medieval woman's life. Women were often married young, sometimes as young as 12 or 13, and were expected to have lots of children. It's like being part of a big, loud family – you know, the kind where everyone's always talking and laughing together.
However, marriage wasn't always a fairytale romance. Women often had little choice in who they married, and divorce was rare and often scandalous. It's like being in a long-term contract with no opt-out clause – not exactly the most appealing prospect.
