Christine de Pizan, a great medieval writer, gave advice to noble women, which was that they familiarize themselves with all things military so they could command the men of their garrisons. We can see the noble woman's job from this.

She was required to take over the reigns of power from her husband under whatever circumstances that might develop. He might get ill, go on crusade or pilgrimage, die, or just be off in the next county, but for whatever the reason, she had to be able to step in for him. This meant that the job of the noble woman was partly to be thoroughly prepared. And this was not true only for noble women, but for all women of the middle ages, regardless of rank.

There were noble women who held power in their own right, just as there were queens regnant. They had to do all the things men would have done in the same position.

Aside from merely political, governmental, and military duties, noble women attended to the businesses of raising children, seeing they were educated, and making the courts where they lived comfortable.
