How old was a stable hand in medieval times?

During the Middle Ages, a stable hand could have been just about any age starting quite young. I suppose there were many who were six or seven years old. People did not live to be as old then as they do now. A stable hand who was seventy would have been considered very, very old, but there probably were a few of that age.


Why is the medieval times also called the middle ages?

Middle ages started in 410 AD with the fall of Rome and ended in the 1400's with the age of exploration. It was a 1,000 years of "darkness" and superstition. Run by the Church it taught people they were born in sin and would die in sin if they didn't follow the dictates of the church. It was a time of chaos and war, when government was gone, and when people were slaves to the Nobility.

What age is considered middle aged in the Bible?

The term "middle aged" is not used in the Bible, but I suppose if it was used at the time it would have meant rather what it does today. The age of man in the Bible, the age a person before which a person might be said to have died before his time, was 70. I would think middle aged people would be those who were very roughly half way between being young adults of about 20, and the reasonably old age of 70, which would place it at 45 or so.
