[QUOTE="HillsideDesolate, post: 3934725, member: 51737"] Yes, AVERAGE life expectancy "Infancy was particularly dangerous during the Middle Ages – mortality was terribly high. Based on surviving written records alone, scholars have estimated that 20–30 per cent of children under seven died, but the actual figure is almost certainly higher." Death during childbirth, often of mother and child also lowers the average. People in the middle ages commonly lived into "old age" for example Pope Innocent X lived to 80, Charlemagne lived to 71. Also consider that upper classes actually had less healthy diets and less exercise than peasants. That this article mentions "heresy" as a primary cause of death is dubious to say the least, but we are speaking about one of the most lied about periods in history. [/QUOTE]
