Marriage was used to bind families together and to gain lands. It wasn’t for love with noble families and girls were often engaged to older men before they were 7 years old. Then they would be sent to the holdings of the man they were engaged to and taught how to keep the castle by his mother. Mary Queen of Scots was engaged by the time she was 3 years old. Often weddings took place by the time the girl was 12 years old and her lands/money went to her husband. Many young women died early in child birth, but her husband kept her holdings.
