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.

It was a time of chaos and war, when government was gone, and when people were slaves to the Nobility.
