Original Note:
Medieval Britain life expectancy low? But this cliche has been disproved many times. If a male living in 1500 managed to see his 21st birthday, he was expected to live around 50 more years. Citizens between the ages of 16 and 60 were eligible to serve in the militia. https://malevus.com/did-people-die-young-during-the-middle-ages/ https://localhistories.org/myths-about-the-middle-ages/
