Family Structure in Medieval England

The family structure in medieval England was centered around a patriarchal system, where the father held ultimate authority. Extended families often lived together, sharing resources and responsibilities. Land and wealth were primarily inherited through male lines. Servants and laborers, often part of larger households, contributed to daily chores and agricultural work. Children had distinct roles: boys prepared for trade or knighthood, while girls learned domestic skills and prepared for marriage.
