A Band Presents
~Welcome to the Elizabethan Age~
Elizabethan women who were single were looked down upon and often spent their life in a convent or nunnery. Since a lot of nunneries and convents were being destroyed they had to turn to domestic services such as caring for children, cleaning laundry etc. All the women of the lower class very much desired to be married. With the parent's permission girls were allowed to marry at the age of twelve.
