About this deal

Arabella in the 2006 children's novel Rebel's Daughter: The 1837 Rebellion Diary of Arabella Stevenson The concept of maid has continued to evolve in pop culture, particularly anime and sci-fi, to encompass the ideas of social robot and virtual human servants. Head house-maid: the senior house maid, reporting to the housekeeper. (Also called "house parlour maid" in an establishment with only one or two upstairs maids). Jeffers, Regina (2020-02-07). "Life Below Stairs: Life as a Maid-of-all Work in Victorian England". Every Woman Dreams.. . Retrieved 2023-05-25. Among other members, the job of a chamberlain was to manage the castle finances, while the seneschal looked after the administration of the estate and special events. Medieval Castle Staff Duties

Hollister, C. Warren (2001). Medieval Europe: A Short History, 9th edition, Boston, London: McGraw-Hill. ISBN 0-07-112109-9. Lady's maid: a senior servant who reported directly to the lady of the house, but ranked beneath the housekeeper, and accompanied her lady on travel. She took care of her mistress's clothes and hair, and sometimes served as confidante. Cost: In total – with all accessories – we are at 460 €. If you prefer to spend a little less, leave the coat and replace the tricorn with a headscarf. Of course, hooks and sabers are also optional.Finally, the royal household differed from most noble households in the size of their military element. If a king was able to muster a substantial force of household knights, this would reduce his dependence on the military service of his subjects. This was the case with Richard II of England, whose one-sided dependence on his household knights – mostly recruited from the county of Cheshire– made him unpopular with his nobility and eventually contributed to his downfall. [25] Inga - Scandinavian name that has origins in Norse mythology which means "guarded by Ing." Ing was the God of fertility and peace. Cost: With all the bells and whistles, this outfit is around 340 €, with the most expensive part of it being the corset. If this is too much money for you to spend at once, you can omit the corset, because the dress is still held by the long belt. Alternatively, a bodice belt for lacing would be conceivable, then you would be at a total of approx. 220 €. In the Victorian Era, the highest ranking servant managed the staff of a large estate and was called the housekeeper. Below her was the Lady’s maid, who interacted mostly with the Lady of the house. Below this classification was an entire set of ranks for housemaids whose responsibilities related to maintaining the condition of various rooms in the house. The head of the housemaids reported to the housekeeper and managed the operations of subordinate housemaids, such as parlor maids, chamber maids and laundry maids. Nannies also reported to the housekeeper and were in charge of all servants responsible for childcare. Below all of these was an entire staff of lower-class servants who were dedicated to the preparation and serving of food, as well as the maintenance of kitchen areas.

Living conditions for servants like Alice were often cramped and uncomfortable. She shared a small room with several other female servants, and the conditions were less than ideal. The room was cold and damp, and the straw mattresses provided little comfort. However, Alice and her fellow servants did their best to make the best of the situation, finding comfort in their shared experiences and the knowledge that they were all in this together. In Empress Isabella’s household, the difference in rank among the clerks was symbolized by the amount of cloth they received for their robes and what kind of fur was used for the trim. Higher-ranking servants were given clothes made of blue cloth with lamb fur, (shearling) while other, lower-ranking clerks wore robes of russet. Described as the “coarsest and cheapest” fabric, russet was a woolen cloth worn mainly by servants and labourers. Girl children in the middle ages and Renaissance had different responsibilities than boys. Many girls did receive some schooling or later trained to join a covenant or become nuns. Daughters learned skills like sewing, jewelry making, and helping prepare food for the family. Human Rights Watch (14 July 2004).

Retrieved 14 January 2013.The aristocratic society centered on the castle originated, as much of medieval culture in general, in Carolingian France, and from there spread over most of Western Europe. [3] In other parts of Europe, the situation was different. On the northern and western fringes of the continent, society was kin-based rather than feudal, and households were organised correspondingly. [30] Legislation in many countries makes certain living conditions, working hours, or minimum wage a requirement of domestic service. Nonetheless, the work of a maid has always been hard, involving a full day, and extensive duties. Maids would be familiar with hard work and typically worked long hours in a week. [4] Europe [ edit ] Lunden - Several habitational origins including Norwegian for numerous farmsteads and German from the municipality of Lunden in Holstein, Germany. Maids traditionally have a fixed position in the hierarchy of the large households, and although there is overlap between definitions (dependent on the size of the household) the positions themselves would typically be rigidly adhered to. The usual classifications of maid in a large household are:
