Asked by Cassie

I have a few questions about ladies-in-waiting in medieval times.

Were unmarried ladies-in-waiting called Maids of Honour? Were Maids of Honour less important?

Could you be unmarried and still be called a lady-in-waiting?

How different was it to be a lady-in-waiting or to live in a castle in England than it was in Ireland or Wales?

Any question you can answer would be great!

Thank you! :-)

I have already tried Google searches and checked most of those sites. I was hoping to see if someone could answer me directly or point me to a specific site that has that answer.

Most of this information is about Elizabethan or Rennaisance times, not medieval. However, these sites should help you.
