Royal and noble families in the Medieval era provided early for their offspring, arranging marriages for their children almost from the time of infancy. They also provided well for their immortal souls. Royalty, nobles and the seriously wealthy donated generously to the Church, lands, money, objects d'art, and sometimes their own children. Giving a child, usually a daughter, to become a nun was a common act of piety among those who could afford the dower. Becoming a nun or a Bride of Christ was considered a form of marriage, complete with a contract and a dowry.
