= ​ 1. Questions (I wonder...?) =
 * I wonder what ladies did in their spare time?
 * I wonder how a lady would assist her husband?
 * I wonder how much control a lady had in her household?

= = = 2. Inferences (I think that...because....) =
 * I think that a lady would oversee the house, such as ordering the staff around. I think this and regular activities ( eating, sleeping, etc.) would be her only activities. I think that because she already had people to take care of her children and she had maids, so she could do as she pleased.
 * I think the main way a lady would assist her husband is helping to clean the house, I think the lady did this out of boredom. I think the lady would order the maids around and help but wouldn't do real dirty work.
 * I think that while the lord was away the lady had as much power as the king, I think she could fire as well as hire people. I think that usually the staff was wise enough to listen to her.

= 4. Summary = While researching the daily life of ladies, I learned some very interesting and intriguing facts. In the articles I read, I learned about the ladies position (status), what they did for fun, and about their marriage and children. I learned that a lady would take over the household while her husband was away. She would also be a hostess for visiting people, as well as tell the servants how she wanted things to be done. The medieval lady would do many things for fun, such as falcon hunting, picnics, and board game; these items would help to entertain her throughout the day.Lastly, I learned what the lady's responsibilities were in marriage and with her children. I learned that a lady would be married young and mostly out of wealthiness, and or power; chosen by the father or brother. The woman would have children, but it was risky ( her or her child could die). I have learned many facts about the daily life of ladies.
