Women during the medieval times were powerless but played an important role in the lives of nobles and peasant families.
The lives of most noble women were limited. Noble women held little property because lords passed down their fiefs to their sons and not to daughters. But when nobles were out fighting , noble women would take their place in any way that was necessary.Peasant women’s performed endless labor around the home and often out in the fields. Young peasant girls learned practical household skills from their mothers , while daughters in rich households were educated by tutors. But through the economic contribution women made, this was essential to the survival of the peasant household.
