We cannot know the age at which most medieval women died, but we can guess it was something over the age of fifty. During most of the middle ages, no records were kept of births, and no records were kept of people who died without achieving some sort of importance.

I have read that the life expectancy at birth was 37 or so. But I have also read that the Infant Mortality Rate was about 30 to 35%. If we do the math, then what it comes to is that the life expectancy at age two was over fifty. If we consider the life expectancy girls who live to be women, adults, then the life expectancy would have to be higher yet.

1st answer:Dark ages or middle ages. No "age of"2nd answer:There are those who call the Middle Ages the Age of FaithThe Middle Ages are sometimes called the Age of Darkness, which I believe is a poor name for the period.Within the Middle Ages was a period sometimes called the Age of Chivalry, and another age, with somewhat different connotations but possibly similar dates, called the Age of the Mounted Knight.Also within the Middle Ages were several ages called renaissances. Among these were the Carolingian Renaissance, the Islamic Renaissance, the Ottonian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, the Renaissance of the 12th Century, and the first half or so of the European Renaissance. In fact nearly all of the time after about 700 AD fell into one or more of these periods.I have heard the Late Middle Ages (1300-1453) called the Age of the Longbow.Depending on how you define the Middle Ages, they included all or important parts of the Age of Migrations (about 300 to 700 AD).

That information isn't available. Most likely it was early teens since people didn't live very long and it is doubtful they had a ceremony we would recognize. The marriage ceremony we know developed in the Middle Ages.
