Marriage in Medieval Europe


Think about marriage in the medieval times. What comes to mind? For starters, people did not get married out of love ! And, girls were often married at a young age to much older men. Also, the girl had nothing to say in the choice of a partner, the marriage was arranged. These ideas and probably a couple others popped into your head, huh? Well, you are not entirely wrong. Some of thee above statements are at least partially correct. However, medieval Europe was not as terrible as we might think it was.  

TBC.
