I stated what each and all of the classes did - this was an integral part of White society, and only disappeared around the late 1800s into the 1900s, because of the first wave of feminism. Again, it is only gone due to jews.
Yes, you are correct. I was looking into the historical age of marriage and came across this book: “Medieval Households” by David Herlihy, Harvard University Press, 1985
In it, is a chapter Ages At First Marriage (pg 103). You can see you are correct with these lines:
1 "The average ages rise a little as the fifteenth century progresses. At Florence in 1480, it was 20.8 years for women, and 21.1 at Prato in 1470."
2 "The Florentine domestic chronicler Giovanni Morelli, writing in the first decade of the fifteenth century, hearkened back to olden times, presumably the twelfth century, when girls were married at 24 or 25."
So yes, you are correct! I openly admit it! Congrats!
But that's not all! It also says the following:
3 "For 30 Florentine women, whose birth dates and wedding dates between 1251 and 1475 are given in published family memoirs, the average age at first marriage is 17.2 years."
4 "At Prato in 1372, estimated age at first marriage for city girls was 16.3 years; at Florence in 1427, it was 17.6 years. Girls in the Florentine countryside were somewhat older at first marriage in 1427; their average age was 18."
5 "For 14 widows younger than age 30 in the survey, the average age at which they gave birth to their first surviving child was 18.4 years. They must have been age 17 or younger at first marriage."
6 "In the noble family of Wittelsbach, from 1300 to 1520, four brides were between 12 and 13 years; eight about 14; and two about 15. Among the Hohenzollem, five brides were between 12 and 13; five about 14; and five about 15. And among the Nassau, one was 12; two were 14; and three were 15. Among the patricians of the town of Frankfurt, the average age of 43 brides was 18.8 years. The mother of the artist Albrecht DUrer was married at age 15."
So it looks like I am correct as well (unless the jews can be blamed again). Damn...
Also, there is this: "The bride had to have completed twelve years of age, and the groom fourteen. And both had to give their consent to the union: nuptias consensus non concubitus facit, "consent, not intercourse, makes the marriage."31 (This Roman legal maxim was destined to exert a profound influence on the marriage rules of the medieval Church.)"
