Marriage in the Middle Ages
Welcome back to the Museum of Femininity, in today's episode we start a new series analysing the history of marriage, but more specifically the process of getting engaged, weddings and how people celebrated this happy occasion throughout history.
Here we will be looking at the Middle Ages in Britain, the differences between a peasant wedding and an upper class wedding, why people married, what a wedding involved and how traditions of the past were similar and different to those today. 
We will also devote sometime to contextualising the time period and having a general discussion about the role of women in Medieval society.
