Medieval Europe: Feudalism

How they lived?

 Lords lived in castles. During the Middle Ages, the landscape of Europe was full by them.Lords lived priviledged lives compared with peasant's lives who worked their land.      




The castle was the centre of the local power, as it was the law court and a government office, The local prison used to be in the castle, too.             


In their castles, the lords and the ladies led privileged lives: they used to wear colourful clothes made from luxurious fabrics such as silver or velvet. They used to eat white bread made from refined flour and also meat. Besides, they used to drink wine instead of beer.
   
                                                          


Young girls were married between the ages of 14 and 16 and these marriages were arranged between families.

    
             



Noblemen, entertained themselves by hunting and hawking, activities that gave castle kitchens with fresh meat. Medieval ladies also learnt to ride and sometimes they joined in hunting expeditions.
