The early life stages of elite women in hight medieval France and england were shaped by marriage to a considerable degree. Marriage prospects influenced their early education and place of residence, and the ceremony itself served as a symbolic rite of passage into "adult-hood", something reflected in the vocabulary used to describe elite women. Nevertheless, since elite women generally married around the age of puberty or even earlier, contemporaries often showed consideration for the youth of recently married women, introdcuing them only gradually to adult secual and social responsibilities and providing special caregivers for their protection and guidance. full social adulthood for these women thus could arrive at different times, depending on each women's age at marriage, early education, social position, motherhood, personality, and other factors | |
