Tops 40 years old, but the average was about 20 years old. Life was hard and life was short.
The third period of the Middle Ages was the Late Middle Ages. The first is called the Early Middle Ages or the Dark Age. The second period was the High Middle Ages.

There was no nylon in the Middle Ages. Nylon was invented in the 20th century; the Middle Ages ended in the 15th.
The Roman Empire was followed by the Middle Ages: Early Middle Ages (5th to 10th century), High Middle Ages (c. 1001 to 1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300 to 1500).
Tops 40 years old if they were lucky enough not to die in wars, sick, or in accidents. The average was probably about 20 years old. It was a hard life.

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.
That is just what they are called in the language that was being used. "Surf" could translate to a mix of a slave/worker/peasant.
The period of time from 500 AD to 1500 AD is called the Middle Ages.
most people diagnosed with the Black Death during the middle ages died within 3 days. It was considered a sign from God if someone made it to 4 days. is that what you're talking about? middle ages?
There was no explorers in the middle ages. When exploration started that is when the middle ages ended.
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.

Early Middle Ages 400 - 700, High Middle Ages 700 - 1300, Late Middle Ages 1300 -1500.
AnswerAverage Life Expectancy at birth in The Middle Ages was 35, but about one third died as children, if you could make it to your mid teens you could expect to live to your mid forties, early fifties. AnswerI was curious about this and did some research. About a third of the people died as infants, rather than as children, and the this produces different numbers. If you survived to the age of two, your life expectancy was to the early to mid fifties. A show on BBC (sorry, I forget the name) told about a study of bodies retrieved from the crypt of a church for reburial. The bodies were examined, and since it was possible to provide the names and dates for each, the ages of the people were known. Medical examiners were asked to estimate the ages, without knowing what they were. The resulting estimates was fairly uniformly ten years shy of the facts. For the middle ages, the implication is that the estimated age expectancy of the middle ages is that it would have been estimated as too low by several years if the estimate is based on archeology.I went into history and looked at 20 people whose ages could be calculated or estimated, who had not been professional soldiers or members of the high nobility, and who came from a mix of backgrounds. It turns out that they died with an average age of 64. Since they had all achieved the age of about 40, this would suggest that the life expectancy at 40 might have been to the mid sixties.
