The Middle Ages (120) : Young Girl
This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.
***
In those medieval times, childhood was in fact insignificant.
Children dependent on their parents until they were about 7 years old, thereafter their youth was past.
The practice of a youthful marriage was very common and many girls were already married at the age of…..14 years !
Photographed at medieval festival of castle Franchimont (Belgium)

Another good image of the Middle Ages. I have found in my travels over the past couple years, Vietnam and Peru, that marriage is still common in the rural areas at ages as young as 14.Regards, Archie
