The Matchmaker
In their time
Marriage among families with land or trade to pass on was a matter of negotiation, and go-betweens were common: kin, friends, clergy or neighbours who carried offers, weighed dowries and arranged meetings. There is less evidence for professional matchmakers in medieval England than in some other cultures, so this role was usually an informal task rather than a trade. Consent of the couple was, in church law, what made a marriage valid.
