What are a medieval queens daily activities?

Answer 1

Medieval ladies (and I assume you mean the wives of knights and lords) had servants (and serfs) to do the chores. They played a part on overseeing the running of the household. If the husband was away on one of those crusades, it sometimes fell to the lady to defend the castle, but that was very unusual and not a chore.

Daily Life of a Noblewoman in the Middle Ages

The daily life of a Noblewoman in the Middle ages followed a similar schedule to that of her lord. This might be her husband, father or brother. The daily life of a Noblewoman during the Middle ages centred around castles or Manors. Much of her time was spent on overseeing the running of the household. The daily life of a Medieval Noblewoman can be described as follows: * The daily life of a Noblewoman started at dawn when Mass would be heard and prayers would be made * A noblewoman would be served by her ladies in waiting. She would be assisted with her dress for the day * The first meal of the day for the Noblewoman was breakfast * The daily life of the Noblewoman would include discussions on tournaments, betrothals, marriages, poetry and courtly love * A Noblewoman would be expected to oversee the education of the upper class girls who had sent to their households * A Noblewoman had to be able to take their husbands places at all times. The daily life of noblewoman would change if her husband was absent. She would be expected to look after the finances of the manor or estates including the collection of rents. Supervise the farming and settle all disputes * Mid morning prayers and a meal * In the afternoon the daily life of Noblewomen turned to housewifely duties including the supervision of meals and ensuring stores were sufficient * Leisure time was spent on embroidery and dance practise * Evening prayer and then supper in the Hall of the Castle or Manor House * After supper there might be some entertainment - music, dancing, jugglers, acrobats, jesters, etc * Bedtime prayers So ended the daily life of a Medieval Noblewoman during the Middle Ages.

Answer 3

A lady who was well prepared and in a reasonable marriage could do nearly anything a man could do. She had to be able to do this because when her husband was away or ill, or if he died, she often had to take over, either for him or for their children.

Ladies had to be able to manage affairs of the estate. They were far better off if they could read and write, so they could check on the work done by the steward. They had to attend to the business of dealing with serfs when the lord was away.

Christine de Pizan, a famous writer of the Late Middle Ages, gave the following advice to ladies: "Know the laws of arms and all things pertaining to warfare, ever prepared to command her men if there is need of it." Though they did not usually go into combat as knights, it did happen. If they were involved in combat, it was usually as a commander of a castle garrison. This happened more often than one might imagine.

Of course, when the lord was present, the ladies usually (definitely not always) left business to the men. When that was happening, the ladies had to deal with the things we might imagine, entertaining guests, embroidery, perhaps reading and writing, organizing dinners, and so on.

Unmarried women had a few special opportunities, including being a lady in waiting. Such a woman was a member of the nobility, but was a servant to a woman of much higher status, such as a queen, for whom it would make sense to have servants who were of gentle class. Such women were in a good position to meet a lot of men of the court, with a view to finding the best possible husband. There were ladies in waiting who were older, as well, and these were often members of nobility who did not have great wealth, but whose friendship was appreciated.

Of course, some medieval ladies became nuns, either as young women with a calling, or as widows who were retiring to a contemplative life.
