=Family Life =



Medieval family lives were very different. Peasant families were poor. They worked to support their family as servants. Their cottages were small. They were a rough one-room dwelling. They were a lower class. The middle class family house had a ground floor that contained a salesroom or workshop with a warehouse behind it. Their sleeping chambers were on the upper floors of the house. They lived in the town. Nobles have a big huge house to live in. They called the big huge house a castle. Also they had a lot of money to have a castle to live in.
