How was the queens life in middle ages?

Answer 1

The days varied. What a queen did depended on who she was, what she wanted to do, and what demands were placed on her.

Some queens retired lived quietly at court, fostering the arts and poetry.

Some queens spent their time raising their children.

Some fought with their husbands.

Some like to hunt.

Some queens were monarchs and ruled countries. Queen Margaret I of Denmark ruled that country, and also ruled Sweden, Norway, and Iceland.

Some queens were victims and spent their time in prison.

Some queens lead armies. Queen Æthelflæd of Mercia spent years kicking Vikings out of places they had settled.

Some queens did more than one of these things. Elinor of Aquitaine was a patron of the arts, married a king and had two children, lead a company of women soldiers on crusade, got a divorce (wow, in those days!) got married to another king, had more children, was imprisoned for years husband, and ruled as regent for her son when he was away.

Better than a peasant woman. She was fed, dressed, and lived better, but didn't have any rights .

2nd Answer

There were quite a few queens who ruled their own countries in the Middle Ages. There were also empresses of the Byzantine Empire who ruled there.

There was a greater number of queens who ruled for their husbands as regents while the husbands were away, or who ruled as regents for their minor sons. Eleanor of Aquitaine was ruling England as regent for her son Richard I, and at the very same time, Adèle of Champagne was ruling France as regent for her husband, Louis VII. It was what queens often did, and it was what queens always had to be ready to do.

Clearly a queen was neither a trophy nor a baby factory, as some people claim. Queens had to be prepared to take over for the men, and to do this, they had to be engaged in the day to day activities of the court, not just social, but legal, military, economic, and so on. A good queen had to be able to do anything a king could do.

They had to know their enemies and their friends, because there was always someone who wanted the throne badly enough to do anything at all to get it. They had to have long lists of names of nobles memorized, along with the territories they governed, the names of their family members, and their histories.

Queens did do things for fun. They made tapestries, wrote music, played and sang, wrote poetry, acted as patron for artists of all sorts, read, danced, went hunting, rode horses, and had fancy dinners. Some of them were in love with their husbands. Their were even a few who were able to raise their own children. But that sentence should bring their lives into perspective. They did not usually raise their own children, and so an aspect of life we take for granted as one of life's great joys, even for the most humble among us, was not available to them. There was always the stress and pressure of the business to call them away from these things, and I doubt many would look back at the end of their lives remembering fun as the most important aspect of being a queen.

I think what I am painting here is a picture of life that was not easy.
