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.
 When noble men or kings
were gone to war, the
women toke place for
them and were the leaders
in organizing the defense.
 Peasant women worked in
fields helping the men
support the house hold,
and bring more money.
 Women also were in
charge of the house and
young girls learned to do
things and help out around
the house before taken to
work in the fields.
