The foundation of Education and the University during the Middle Ages

Well-established customs existed for bringing up children. Birth took place in a private chamber, where the mother was attended only by other women. This was followed by baptism, which in the early middle ages was encouraged to take place on the two great Christian festivals of Easter and Pentecost (Whitsuntide). Gradually, however, fears about the salvation of unbaptised children led to the practice of baptising children on the day that they were born, and this was the dominant custom by the twelfth century. At baptism a child was made a member of the Church, given a forename, and provided with three godparents to assist the parents in its upbringing. Forenames were sometimes chosen by parents, reflecting family traditions, but it was common for the chief godparent, who had the same gender as the child, to give it his or her own forename. As a result more than one child in a family might share the same forename.

Having put these materials on-line during the two or three years beforemy retirement in 1998, I left them in place and soon received comments andsuggestions from people who were using them to supplement the materials ofcourses in Medieval History that they were taking at other universities orwere simply reading for pleasure. I found it quite pleasant to think thatmy materials were continuing to instruct and perhaps even providing someenjoyment even though I was no longer actively teaching, so I haveundertaken to improve the format and contents of these offerings and willadd to them as I find time to do so.
