Select all that apply. Which statements about women in noble families are correct?
Explanation
An estate had to be run whether or not its holder was at home, and the lord's wife was the person with the standing to do it, ordering supplies, directing servants and officials and at times organising a defence. The claim of equal legal standing is the closest trap, because that practical authority can look like equality, yet the rules of inheritance and law still treated men and women differently and varied from region to region.
