When were the Middle Ages? The Five-Minute Medievalist answers the question, “When were the Middle Ages?” For most historians, the Middle Ages is about a thousand years from around 500 AD – or CE as historians say now – to about 1500. So, before about 500 the Roman Empire was the major power in Europe. They had taken over pretty much everything from the Middle East to the north of Africa, to all the way into Britain up to Hadrian’s Wall.

This is the big reason why medieval people who were religious and bent on mortifying the flesh wore vermin-covered hair shirts next to their skin – it’s because it felt awful, and that was the point.

What was life like for a medieval housewife? - History Extra “A woman’s work is never done!” as my mother used to say in the 1960s, when she cared for our family of five and assorted pets, while working as a school dinner lady. Yet this claim was expressed centuries earlier when the Tudor writer and poet Thomas Tusser wrote in his A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie in 1557: Some respite to husbands the weather may send, But housewives’ affairs have never an end. We can only imagine the drudgery of struggling to do the washing, cooking and cleaning when every task had to be done from scratch – before the linen could be washed, the housewife had to make the lye (the medieval equivalent of detergent) to soak it in, and before dinner could be cooked, the fire had to be lit.

Le Roman de la Rose, best-seller médiéval Le Roman de la Rose est un long poème écrit au XIIIe siècle par deux auteurs successifs : Guillaume de Lorris et Jean de Meun. Il s’inscrit dans la tradition des « arts d’aimer » inspirés d’Ovide. Prenant la forme d’un songe allégorique, il conte la quête et la cueillette d’une rose – une jeune fille – par un jeune homme, l’Amant, du coup de foudre initial à la conquête-défloration de l’Aimée.
