Sinopse

Women in England in the Middle Ages looks at âÇÖall sorts and conditionsâÇÖ of women from c.500 to c.1500 A.D., concentrating on common experiences over their life-cycle, as daughters, wives and mothers, and the contrasts derived from their position in the social hierarchy.áMost womenálived out their lives in their own village or town, butáqueens and noblewomen exercised power and patronage locally and atáthe royal court. Religion played a significant part in womenâÇÖs lives,ásome became nuns and abbesses, while the majority were involved in their own parish and community.áInevitably, womenâÇÖs lives changed over time, but, in bringing up their children and balancing family and work, medieval women faced many of the problems of their modern counterparts.á
