Some lived in convents, but serf women lived in huts or rude houses, and noblewomen lived in castles and manors.
Convent, Cloister, or Nunnery
Sisters live in convents, nuns live in monasteries.
nuns
Monks and Friars live in a monastery. Nuns and cloistered women live in monasteries as well, not to be confused with convents.
Usually queens lived in palaces. Sometimes they lived in castles, or even convents.
nuns lived in convents which had everything they need so they didn't have to travel
Nuns usually lived in convents, which had their own grounds and were not part of a manor or village

Because the monks were all men and the nuns were all women. They called themselves "sisters in Christ" or "brothers in Christ", so therefore, the brotherhood and the sisterhood.
Those women were nuns. Nuns are females who have taken religious vows and live in a convent, dedicating their lives to prayer, contemplation, and serving others. They follow a strict religious discipline and often participate in communal worship, study, and work within their religious community.
There are not nearly as many convents here as there were when I was in school.
