Welcome to Medieval Family Life. This resource consists of full-colour images of the original medieval manuscripts that make up these family letter collections and full-text-searchable transcripts from the printed editions, where they are available.

A plethora of topics are covered in these collections, including trade, warfare, arranging advantageous marriages, arguments between parents and children, matters of inheritance, births and deaths, estate management, legal disputes, domestic finances, women and their role in the family and everyday social and domestic life.

Along with the letter collections themselves there are many additional features useful for teaching and research. These include a chronology, a visual sources gallery, an interactive map, a glossary, and family trees for four of the featured families.
