What was life like in the 1200's?

Answer 1

Rather spartan and very brutal at times..... You would live to an age of 30-40 if you were lucky. you would have probaby lived in a small hut with your immediate family. you may have grown a crop if you were fortunate enough. Your family would have lived within a small village, much like today, but everyone worked together much better for the betterment of the village people. Medicine was hard to come by and you would get sick easy.... many people would die of flu and minor wounds due to bacteria.

What else? hmm. on the plus side, life would be much more simple thn today, you would go hunting, fishing, grown your crops and harvest them, to feed your family, participate in ancient sports activities like Wrestling, sword fights (Europe) and even puch-ups for fun! to see the toughest man in the village. The women would cook in or near the huts and dinner would be servd with family and fellow village people in many cases, you would eat with your hands usually, and just slop it down as fast as you could as the men burned energy hunting and fighting off intruders. Not to forget most families would have had a horse or a few horses. Clothing would have been very basic, footwear would have been leather, clothing would have been dirty more often than not.

The list goes on & on, and also varies drastically, from country to country, i am writing about Western Europe here mainly (england) Lfe was far tougher for folks back then, wars, harsh laws, but it would have been a life well lived and not taken for granted what so ever!
