hammertapping Oh ok sorry my mistake. (I thought you were saying what you think should be the case instead if what was the case) However, I don’t really think that what you said generally applied (we are talking about time periods such as 11th-14th century, “history” itself is too vast). At that era all countries had vastly different laws but this is a general remark (with Jerusalem mostly in mind). In Europe, marriage was a highly political act. People would marry based off political gain and hence the age of marriage was linked to the age of adulthood (i.e when feudal overlords were given the right to exercise their power) so that marriage and its relevant gains were extracted (by the male) before they could be enjoyed. In many countries this lead to children being given the right to marriage and in some marriage was allowed for younger people by proxy. However, to some degree, the age of adulthood (which was 16) was linked to sexual maturity, but mental maturity and life expectancy can be said to have had larger roles to this. Do nit forget that at this time the law was codified and passed by legislatures (not democratic ones obviously) which discussed them in a similar manner to today’s parliaments.

A woman would’ve been considered quite old at that point. As mentioned in the video, the life expectancy of people living in the Middle Ages (and long after) was very short. Considering the fact that the point of marriage was to produce heirs (in the form of children), it was obviously best to have a young wife; this meant the couple had more time to bear offspring and could keep trying-a lot of children died in infancy. Mary I of England was considered quite old when she finally married and never even had a child, so her sister became queen after she died.

The Christians can say 'Meh' because they have the concept of divorce but the condition was much more severe here among Hindus in the past. Since marriage vows included the vows of being husband & wife for 7 consecutive births, there is no concept of divorce in Hindu religious code, so if a wife offended her husband, she would be sent back to her paternal household, never to be recalled back by her in-laws while the husband would marry another time & there was no restriction on the number of wives a Hindu man could take. The practice of civil divorce was introduced in the Hindu society in the 1950 by the Hindu Code Bill, which had received much criticism from the orthodox Hindus. Even today, a divorcee Hindu woman marrying for the second time is somewhat looked down upon by the society.

In children of dune, Irulan tries to poison Chani so she can't get pregnant but Chani goes to her old wise woman and founds out why she can't get pregnant and starts eating a ton of spice to help get rid of the poison. But it has a small defect, the spice makes her Pregnancy speed up and she gives birth to the twins in 6 months and then dies because of it.

"Valor in the joust." Lol

13:27 I think this painting is so nice 😊

Thank you Lindsay for your lovely videos. You truly make my day every time I get a notification for a new marvelously done video. Patreon money well spent!

My favourite thing to see is the two princes pop up in videos. My ancestor was the one who allegedly was ordered to murder them. It’s news to me that the younger was married to a 5 year old lol

Very well done. Concise, but informative with nice visuals and music. I look forward to your next installment.

Thanks for keeping me educated through quarantine

This was so interesting

I love your videos. Its so nice to watch good historical videos.

I love this channel so freaking much. I'm a huge history buff. Hard to find youtube channels and shows/movies I enjoy that are history based.

Yeeey another video! Hoping for more Queens of Europe videos! 💕

lindsay, i love your videos so much!! they’re always so educational, especially more niche history, and your voice & music choice is so soothing 💖

If my father in law wanted to watch us do the deed that’s just too much. 😂 I have to say that I like the some Eastern traditions better where the grooms family pays the bride a dowry, not her family mind you but the actual bride. 😉

Me: People are so weird today, sometimes... *Okay, nevermind, we have nothing on pre-Enlightenment Europe*

The dowry thing is very interesting to me because as a Nigerian a dowry is given by the husbands family to the family of the bride while in Europe it's the other way round

Your videos are very in depth and interesting. I look forward to your uploads daily!

I love your videos. Your voice is soothing and I've learned so much

omg please can you do a video on catherine de medici PLEASEEEE QUEEN 👸

How awkward would it be to both: be related to your husbands’ mistress, & know that she was old enough to have attended your mother’s wedding?

Wow, she actually responded

The major reason for marrying off children wasn't life expectancy. Peasants usually married in their late teens or early 20s. Young children were married off because the parents needed to secure an alliance and they did not have older children to offer. Later these became betrothals. Betrothals were technically binding but princesses such as King Henry VIII's daughter was betrothed twice, once to the dauphin of France, and once to Charles V of the holy roman Empire. A marriage was more secure, even if it wasn't consummated.

Can you do more videos on the middle ages? They’re always absolutely crazy and interesting. Thank you! I adore your videos

Lol it’s kind of funny to think I would have children if I were born in this era.

Thank you Lindsay Holiday.

your videos are SO soothing to watch. i learn so much and is awesome to use while i work. thank you!

Can you make a video on the youngest royal weddings!? Like a list of the 10 youngest royals married off? It'd be interesting!

I always watch these videos when I’m cleaning, love them💕

Love your channel! I always learn so much and enjoy listening to you.

Thank you so much for all these beautiful stories 😘❤️

Great job on this video, Lindsay.

Very well put together video, thanks for the history.

That tradition of placing the ring on each fingers and saying the holy trinity is still a thing right? All of my family did this I just assumed is was universal to Christian weddings

Can we talk about Phillipa of England, artist's rendering of her dress at 4:58? Holy crap that's gorgeous! I'd wear that! That reminds me of romanticized medieval movie gowns. So beautiful!

I always love your videos! And your voice is so soothing

I enjoy your videos! Thank you for making them!

Lovely video Lindsay!

Great video can’t wait for the next part

BLESS YOU LINDSAY

William the bastard had me cracking up!

Margaret Beaufort had a baby at 13 without a husband and managed to support her son and managed to make the dynasty we know today.. The Tudors

Great video ❤️ love stuff like this thank you 😊

I love your videos! So educational and interesting:))

Love this! Very well done!

I love your videos. I saw the the video the min it was uploaded but my class started and i couldnt watch it. I think you are underrated. If I could afford right now i would become a patreon something but i lost my job and my tuition got higher :( I hope you get more recognition and support very soon.

Very interesting and educational video, well done indeed again!

love your videos!

Looking forward to the second film.

Lindsay Holiday you're the best :D

I enjoyed the video. Thank you and take care
