Most people think of Medieval Times as a place in history where a gallant knight would ride off into the sunset to sleigh a dragon for the love of a princess. They do not realize it was a huge time for superstition.
Everyday Life
The average person’s life was filled with a great deal of hard work and modest earnings. The majority of families worked all day in order to grow and gather enough food to feed their family and sell in order to purchase items such as clothing that they may need. All of the children were expected to help work in order to help feed the family, so education was not pushed on the children.
Art & Education
The culture in the Middle Ages had a strong concentration on the artistic talents of many individuals. The Middle Ages saw the sprouting of artists from individuals that lived and worked outside of the monasteries which were completely different than it had been historically. Some of the most famous artists in history were born to farmhands or peasants during this time period.
Education took a back seat during the Middle Ages. It was not until the end of the Middle Ages that the rulers began to realize that without education they would just continue to make the same mistakes over and over again and would never reach peace for their society. It was then that they began to focus on the education of at least the higher end of society so that the countries would be able to grow and flourish.
