It's a common misconception that poeple rarely lived past their 30s. People often lived to old age, but since the infant mortality was high, it brought the average age down to 35. So in reality, if you lived past infancy, you could expect to live a long life well into old age.

It's not to say it was rare, but certainly more common than today. I think what people mean to say is that the statistics of mortality by today's standards was unacceptable. Imagine a mortality rate of 30% for adults at around the age of 35 in the United States. That percentage may sound small, but in today's world it's a rather large number. Particularly with modern medicine and policing that we have. It may be a little aggerated, but people did die before 65 in larger numbers than they to today, especially in developed countries. You expect these rates in third world and developing nations, not the west or modern capitalist societies.

Yep. When you consult medieval texts you can find references that the natural human lifespan (barring accidents, illness or violence) was regarded as 'three score and ten', that's to say 70 years. A significant proportion of the population reached around that age. It wasn't like everybody died in their thirties and old people didn't exist.

Re: teen pregnancy being encouraged and Margaret Beaufort. Margaret Beaufort's pregnancy was looked on askance by the people at the time, considering her *FAR* too young to be pregnant. While nobles might be married at a young age to cement alliances, usually the marriage was not consummated until they were much older. People were pretty horrified at Margaret's young age. She was never able to bear any more children after Henry.

If you are talking about Margaret Beaufort from the video, her age of 12 was EVEN THEN thought to be extremely young to be a mother, and the birth was so traumatic for her spirit and so extremely damaging for her inner organs, as she wasn´t fully developed yet, that she could never have children again. Even at that time, her husband (I think it was Jasper Tudor) was WIDELY criticized for having sex with a bride so young. Generally, when the age difference was so huge and the girl was just a child, she was sent to the house of her husband, or to his own family, to be brought up as another aristocratic child - for at least a few years, and THEN, only then, when she was "old enough", she was allowed to have sex with her husband. Margaret beaufort was an extreme even in the middle ages. However, child marriages were frequently practiced among nobility, and the kids would then be brought up together to get used to each other, and once they felt like it and they reached the appropriate age, they could have sex. Teenage marriages (when both the girl and boy were in their teens) were consummated IMMEDIATELY. Richard III (then Richard Plantagenet) married his wife Anne Neville when he was 19 and she was like 14 or 15. He already had at least two illegitimate children at that point, and Anne was supposed to tollerate them. Richard (with his older brother George) was sent away from his own family to the family of the Nevilles maybe only a year or two after his own father was killed at the battlefield. Richard Neville (aka Warrick the Kingmaker), father of Anne Neville, Richard´s future wife, was Richard´s cousin. Warrick the Kingmaker made this move because he needed strong warriors on his own side, as there was the War of Roses raging, and both Dickon (little Richard III - nobody called him in any other way than Dickon) and George were highly ambitious and brave (but George was also extremely spoiled by his own mother). The Plantagenets were also in a higher social position than the Nevilles, but the Nevilles were one of the richest people in the country. With their own army. So Warrick made the move and took the Plantagenet boys in because he slyly wanted to get them married to his own daughters, Anne and Isabel. And later on - although in very controversial ways - Isabel TRULY married George and Richard married Anne, just like Warrick had it planned. It´s just when the boys´ eldest brother Edward usurped the throne and became the new king, Warrick - who helped Edward to get on the throne - wanted some position at the court and didn´t get it. Warrick got pissed and basically declared open war on Edward. And his brothers, Richard and George, were then supposed to choose sides, whether they wanted to be on Warrick´s side or Edwards. When Richard saw what kinda person Warrick was, he chose Edward, and was unflinchingly loyal to him. However, George was a turncoat and he three times switched sides between Edward and Warrick. And his own brother the king was so pissed at his brother´s traitor actions that he had him executed. What I am saying is - being a peasant was very different and much easier than being a noble. Most of the aforementioned things in the video didn´t ring true or worked for them.

Didn’t the marrying very young thing mostly count for nobles and royalty, to forge alliances and friendships with other noble/ royal houses? I read somewhere that among the common people, the average age of marrying and having their first child was between 17-18 and early 20s. I even read an academic paper for uni last year that said that that was one of the reasons why Christianity first gained popularity mostly amongst women in Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire; marrying pubescent kids off to older men was custom in their own pagan religion, but within Christianity commoners could wait until were 18 or in their twenties, and they didn’t have to remarry if they became widows.

yes, I've also read books about ethnography and one thing they repeatedly mentioned was that women were considered children (and therefore untouchable) before their first menstruation, so even if married with parental or legal guardian consent for various reasons, they should be in general safe from this type of abuse. Also the average age of first menstruation was quite high in common population (probably lower in nobility, though), because of malnutrition and hard work. Unfortunately the only number I know is the average of 17 years by the end of 19th century in Central Europe, but it was said it was at that time getting down (so supposedly it was even higher in previous centuries) due to the overall improvement and development in society during the second half of 19th century.

The second part of this video is BS. Whilst some royals were berothed at very young ages, the reality was that most women married in their early 20's and men in their late 20's, after they finished being a journeyman and could support a family. If the average age of menarche was 17, why would you marry off your daughter if she couldn't even bear children?? Of course there were outliers, which tend to stick in people's memories, but we have outliers even these days too. Most adults lived to their late 50's and 60's, and in the records I regularly see people living to their 70's or 80's. Yes, infant mortality was high, and women dying of childbed fever was common too, but I also see women who have 12 kids and live to the age of 91, so it's all relative. You used Margaret of Beaufort as an example and it's actually a very good one-as an outlier. She was the wealthiest girl in britain, and as such had a fantastic diet and good health. She probably got pregnant just after or around her first period/s and it shows, because it harmed her body so much to be pregnant and give birth that she almost died and was rendered sterile and unable to even have s3x for the rest of her life (probably a class III prolapsed uterus with possible hip/pelvic floor damage that gave her a slight limp). Medieval people weren't stupid, they knew children shouldn't have children, and people mistake "betrothal" for "consumated marriage". The norm for most was after the age of majority-which was 21 for women and men from the early dark ages.

Then other royals like Mary Tudor, Mar's nice MaryTudor, and Elisabeth were betrothed at a young age for political alliances but when it didn't work there was no rush for them to be married before 17. Mary Tudor wasmarried some 17 to the king of France, she married Charles Brandon after the king died nd was around 20. Mary and Elizabeth were ignited as political but Mary wasn't married off in a rush even when she was 16/ still legitimate although th great matter started when she was 13-14.

Hi! I have a video request, kinda? I was cleaning my house while listening to your stuff and I found myself wondering how the average person's house would have been different, and how cleaning that house would have been different. Like.... There would be a lot less trash because food didn't come in packaging, but where did they put food scraps? Did people in towns just throw onion tops and other scraps out the window? What kind of soap did they use for washing dishes? Did they even bother using soap or did they just rinse them? Did they bother making their beds? I know they put rushes on the floor so there wouldn't be any sweeping or mopping, but the once a year they did clean them, how thorough was that cleaning? I know that a lot of this wouldn't be written about because it was considered womens' work, but if you have any sources I found myself curious and wanted you to know that if you have that video idea on the back burner, some of us are genuinely curious. :)

There is a lot of distortion here. Firstly, many of the pictures are from times that were post medieval. Books are quoted that only support the narrative intent but other books at the time recommended gentler chastisement of children. E.g One narrative sbout Saint Anselm explained that if you beat children like animals, they are going to grow up to act like animals. Children cannot be tamed like animals. Instead, children should be nurtured like a gardener would a tree. Furthermore, by continuously terrifying children with threats of harm and actually hitting them, children stop seeing any good in the world and become hateful. They only grow more hateful as adults. Punishment for crimes could be cruel but not always! Court documents and biographies etc demonstrate imprisonment and fines were often the punishment for even more serious crimes. A lot of crimes were punished by persons who held a form of local authority over said punishment so some such authority figures were relatively lenient whilst others were not. Definitely though cruel punishments occurred but ti suggest they always were inflicted is not true. Bear baiting did not end until the 19th century, cock fighting too. So not just a Medieval cruelty. The comments about early marriage being the norm are entirely spurious! Poor people married much later than rich ones often in their twenties as poor people couldn't afford marriage until later and due to dietary matters and no chemicals in the environment faking female hormones (unlike today) girls often did not start their periods until years later than they do now, so since the church taught marriage was for procreation there's not much point in doing it until you actually can procreate. The wealthy sometimes married very young but often nit until late teens or very early twenties and even when they did marry very young this doesn't mean they consummated that young. Such marriages were arranged. Lands were joined, businesses united. The married couple usually did not consummate until the couple were more physically mature. Some of these earky marriages ended unconsummated on occasions where one of the spouses died. When there was consummation it was often frowned upon. One of the Popes gave an English King a proper tongue lashing for nearly killing his Queen because he got her pregnant when she was only about 13. Richer women did sometimes get their periods earlier than poorer ones but it was not deemed acceptable to impregnate someone with such an immature body. People will say, what about Shakespeare? All his talk in his plays of very young brides? Especially Romeo and Juliet? Well Shakespeare was your typical Tudor English man who loved nothing better than criticising foreigners in his plays. Romeo and Juliet was written when he was the father of a teenage daughter Juliette's age. Neither of his daughters married in their teens. The play is meant to show Juliet and Romeo as selfish and undisciplined. And the foreign ways of them and their families as inferior to those of England. Even the excessive length of their swords is critiqued. In England at the time if a man's sword was over a certain length he would be fined and the sword shortened. Shakespeare was post medieval but his and his contemporaries attitude to very young marriages predates the Tudor era.

Also, long-term imprisonment was not a feasible solution for crime as it is extremely expensive for the impoverished communities in the middle ages. Police work was also not nearly as advanced as it is in modern society, so the vast majority of crimes went unpunished. As a result, when criminals were caught, their punishments would skew very harsh as a way of trying to deter crime.

Damn, humanity has grown soft and weepy. These days we have people who are convinced that sticks and stones are not needed; that words alone can hurt them in the form of so-called "micro-aggressions"-people with lives so easy that they go out of their way to be offended on behalf of others.

A lot of this can be boiled down to two points you made #1. People didnt live that long. They married/had kids "early" because theyd probably be dead 10 years later. #2.

If my parents found out, I got my ass REALLY whipped for embarrassing our name when I got home. The tradeoff was there were NO gangs, NO backtalking, a GOOD education which the teachers didn't just pass the kid to move him out of the system, respect for women, elders, others property. Cussing was strictly reserved for amongst the other kids. There were NO pregnant girls in schools.

Um, people stopped doing that because multiple studies have proven that not only is corporal punishment ineffective, but, it also has a negative effect on a child’s mental health. There are cultures where corporal punishing children (and, yelling at children, for that matter) is a cultural taboo, and, they have well behaved children.

I worked with a man from Tanzania. He described cruelty to me which unfortunately made a little bit of sense after he described the way his people worked back home. He said that he lived in what he called a "compound". That his villagers took pride residing close to the Maasai people. I worked with this man this year as a psw by his side and he is a VERY loving and kind man and great at his work...YET! Back home....he described back home. He described the lawlessness. How his village was beautiful, and he and his village were close with the Maasai. How they would take busses to work to the city and how life was pretty much like ours in some senses....until the gangs entered town. Once they entered town, everyone is on edge. HE tried to explain to me how when these gangs entered, they were so far from any cities that there was no help, so the villagers were forced to protect themselves. He is a Christian man of faith and who loves life and god, but he said in his area it could get so bad, that you could be by a bus stop and someone who just hold a gun to your head. Ask for everything you had. You are dumb not to give it..but it's different when they enter your home. They would enter his peoples home and demand sex of their wives and children, much like the Vikings ( these are gang people). They'd do what they came to do, take everything you had and your belongings.....SO! Story goes! His people got so fed up because the police were not responding, they created their own police for their own village....the caught the fuckers. What they did is very disturbing though. They gathered old tires from a local shop. They piled them high. Placed the young criminals into them...and burned them alive as in hopes it would scare the others away, they still kept coming in. I asked why did he do it? He looked me dead in the eyes with no remorse " We had no other choice". He explained how it's a larger group than themselves and they keep coming in droves.....we don't understand the things we see written down in books as punishment in medieval times, but at the same time....think of having your daughters raped all in one night and everything you ever worked so hard to build taken from you? I'm not standing for this type of punishment,bbut it really paints the resilience of mankind.
