EN

The lives of both adults and children in the medieval Europe of western Christianity were shaped by societal and ecclesiastic norms. These norms were based, in particular, on the canon law and the liturgy. The life of a child is depicted in these sources in a static manner as depending on the decisions of the adults – parents and curators. However, other preserved sources besides the normative ones, namely, those produced by the Church administration and judiciary, make it possible to reconstruct the life of children in the Middle Ages more vividly.
