CHILDREN’S LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Abstract

This current piece of work is an essay about childhood in the Late Middle Ages, which has been carried out, above all, through the use of the information provided by some medical teatries of the period, chronicles, legal sources and a notarial set of documents, as well as non-written sources. We will shed light onto different issues dealing with children’s life such as birth, feeding, clothing, illness and death which will allow us to move closer to Medieval children’s daily life.
