Answer 5

During medieval times, the daughters of the nobility were not educated, and many of them never even learned to read or write.

They were expected to learn the "domestic arts" of sewing and cooking, etc. In law, they were considered "chattel" (possessions) of the Lord and could be disposed of as he saw fit.
