Fw: Age to marry in the medieval period

If only it was _my_ peril, but it is not. Ignoring your messages would not
undo the damage done by others who abuse crossposted messages to infiltrate
into other newsgroups. When are you going to learn that?

I agree, your messages are incomparibly superb and as many people as
possible should read them, in all news groups.

But, please, address them separately, then gen-med will not be infiltrated
by garbage, garbage _you_ allow to enter.

With best wishes

Dear Newsgroup ~

In the past, various examples have been posted of the age which was
considered the norm to marry during the medieval period. The document
cited in the weblink below is the transcript of a letter written c.
1201 by King Philippe Auguste to Blanche [of Navarre], Countess of
Troyes, which was published in 1905 in the book, A Source Book for
Mediæval History, by Thatcher & McNeal, page 228. In his letter, the
king promises to protect and nourish Blanche's minor daughter whom she
placed in his ward, and also that he "will not give her in marriage,
until she reaches the age of twelve years." From this record, we can
gather that twelve was the minimum age that the French king would
typically marry minor female wards in his keeping.
