What was the average life span of a person in the middle ages?

Answer 1

I have read that the life expectancy during the Middle Ages was about 25. If this figure is correct, it is easily misunderstood. The problem is that it is the life expectancy at birth, and with a very high Infant Mortality Rate, half the babies were dying before they were two years old, so the life expectancy can be understood as an average between these and everyone else.

Once people became an adult, they seem to have lived to age 55 or 60 on average.
