Childhood in medieval Britain was determined by social factors. According to common law of the time, childhood ranged from the birth of a child until he or she reached the age of 12 years. At this point, the child was seen as capable and competent to understand his or her actions, this then rendered them responsible for them. According to cammon law, girls could marry at the age of 12 and boys at the age of 14. Noble children (boys) would learn balle and weapon skills whilst girls would learn basic domestic tasks that allowed them to oversee the running of their "husbands homes"
