No advantages at all. The Middle Ages were a dangerous time forwomen. They were often raped, beaten up, and made to go to anunnery. A woman had no rights or power and were under the controlof men. They couldn’t own land, go to school, have a business andif left alone often had to resort to prostitution to live. TheCamelot type of view of the Middle Ages is not reality. One of thefew women who managed to keep her property and have power wasCatherine of Aragon. She went on a crusade, kept her dowryproperties, had 3 sons become king and was the wife of 2 kings.
