Many were only educated in Arts and Crafts that were considered 'suitable' for a lady of high birth, like embroidery and music. They also learned how to read and write and they got some instruction about their country, its history and its institutions.
After that, much depended on the girl's intelligence and will to learn and on whether the parents decided to give her the opportunity to learn more. There were several cases of intelligent princesses (like Anne and Elisabeth of England) who spoke several languages and were well-read.
Education varied for medieval kings. Some were clearly illiterate, especially those before Charlemagne's time. Some, such as King Henry I of England, were very well educated. The content of education also varied. Henry I was clearly given classical training, but we do not know the circumstances of his education, where or when he got it, or from whom. Such things were not recorded much.
We have very few records of how specific people were educated.
In the case of Matilda of Scotland, however, the education is a matter of record. She had gone to a convent school to be educated so she could be married to a prince or king. People who objected to plans for her to be married, to King Henry I of England, claimed that she was a nun because she had lived in a convent. The charge was shown to be false, she and Henry were married, and she became queen Matilda. (see link on Matilda of Scotland below)
Empress Matilda, the daughter of Henry I and Matilda of Scotland, was tutored privately at the court of Emperor Henry V of the Holy Roman Empire, to whom she was betrothed. (see link on Empress Matilda below)
Eleanor of Aquitaine, who was queen, first of France and later of England, was educated at home by tutors provided by her father. (see link on Eleanor of Aquitaine below)
The need for queens to be educated can be seen in the fact that one of these women, Empress Matilda, had a claim to the throne of England and ruled there briefly, and another, Eleanor of Aquitaine, acted as regent. A queen had to be able to rule, just as a king did.
We know, for example that Cynethryth, wife of King Offa of Mercia, who died some time about 800, stood in for the king as a witness to charters, and was controller of the royal household.
Anna Comnena, a Byzantine princess, who lived from 1083 to 1153, is recorded to have been educated in history, mathematics, science, and philosophy. Her parents forbade her studying poetry, but she did anyway.
King Alfred the Great had his daughters educated very carefully. One of his daughters, Ethelfleda, ruled Mercia in her own right as successor to her husband when he died, and was considered a formidable military leader. She also restored some Roman structures in Gloucester.
Queen Matilda of England spent five years learning the things she needed to know to be empress of the Holy Roman Empire. She was queen in her own right in England, but wound up fighting a long civil war over succession.
Isabella, the queen of Edward II, and a love of reading. She deposed her husband (and possibly had him murdered) and acted as regent for her son. The son, Edward III, also married a learned woman, Philippa of Hainault.
Eleanor of Aquitaine was a reader of literature. She spoke, read, and wrote in several languages. She was also a military leader, though rather unsuccessfully.
The list of queens and princesses who we know were educated is long and impressive. The queens of whom we have no evidence were likely also to have been educated, but never gave historians much reason to record the fact.
We know of some who were educated in monasteries. Matilda of Scotland, the wife of King Henry I, spent a number of years in a convent. We know this because a relative objected to the marriage on the grounds that she had supposedly taken vows, and the legal action that followed concluded she had not, but was in the convent to be educated.
We know that some were tutored. Queen Matilda of England, who was also known as Empress Matilda was educated carefully at the court of the Holy Roman Empire.
In some cases, the education is recorded but we do not have (ready) access to the methods. We know the daughters of Charlemagne and Alfred the Great were educated. Both of these kings were educational reformers who opened schools and wished to set examples. I have not seen any record of how these educations were done. It is possible they had tutors, but since both men were founding schools, it is possible the princesses attended those.
there brought up into it following the example of there queen and they learn alot from guardians and teachers who teach them things though not about being a queen but the skills a queen should have
Queens got education from personal teachers who came to their kingdom to teach. These teachers were very hard to find in the medieval times.
The Kings and Queens in the medieval times usually played games like chess listened to music, danced or read a book. They were women so they really weren't allowed to go anywhere like the men did.By the way World Journalism Prepatory School Rox!!!!!!!
Medieval pilgrims were people who went on journeys or trips to distant places of religious importance. Such trips were called pilgrimages and people who go on a pilgrimage are called pilgrims.
To become a member of a guild, a person had to go through apprenticeship.
yes you can, just go to the medieval preferences cfg file and add at the very end, windowed =true
A medieval feast does not mean a meal.The medieval idea of a feast was a whole day spent celebrating a particular Saint, with special church services (often starting in the evening before the feast day) and with particular types of food traditionally eaten. In the churches and monasteries special hymns would be sung and the story of the Saint would be read out. Feast days punctuated the calendar and enabled people to specify a particular date: "I have to pay my rent on the Feast of St Michael", or "Our daughter was born two days before the Feast of Saint Martha, so we named her Martha".The word feast comes from Latin dies festus, meaning a solemn day.You probably mean a banquet, which might go on for many hours.
