obedience

Explanation:

Whenever you think about the medieval period, we see that it is marked by wars, plague, hunger, feudal power and the Church, comes to our imagination if we talk about the role of women, the right to belong , the chastity belt, the pursuit of witches, etc. However, and according to several historians, this description of occurrence would be framed within the period called High Middle Ages and in certain areas of European territory, where the husband could kill his adulterous wife, or where the slave woman could not marry without her master's consent, and if she did, her children would be divided between her lord and her husband. At this time, we should know that there were no marriages out of love. In fact, that is a privilege more of our time than of past times. Hence, the woman was obviously not choosing her husband, that task was assumed by the father or, if it was missing by the head of the family. Living under the skin of a woman was quite a feat in the Middle Ages, because apart from being espoused by a man who probably did not love, it could suffer several torments with total impunity as the abduction, the repudiation, and even from another side, being forced to become a religious woman, which also gave status to the family and less concern. The woman, in short, was pure commodity to the antonjo of man, and always played, with some exceptions, a secondary role in society.
