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)

    Dieses Portrait gefällt mir besonders gut, Mark.
    Das junge Mädchen hat ein zartes Gesicht und das Häubchen
    sieht so hübsch aus.
    Salut Brigitte

    a fine portrait of this lovely young girl, intense, full of light ...
    and her serious expression might well put her into the
    marrying age !!!
    warm regards,
    Adele

    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.
