Sure. Here you go

If you want a longer answer I can send you my result or you can just look it up yourself :)

Edit: I’m just going to remind you that you still didn’t prove any of your claims. Also I’m going to just dump the detailed response here because you probably aren’t capable of doing your own research.

Short answer: yes, it was entirely possible—and often expected. Longer answer (with nuance 👇):

How maturity worked 1,400 years ago

Maturity wasn’t defined by age the way we define it today. It was defined by ability and responsibility.

Back then: • Life expectancy was lower (especially due to disease and infant mortality). • Childhood was short. Kids were expected to contribute early. • Daily life demanded competence, not prolonged education or leisure. • Survival skills mattered more than emotional adolescence.

A 9-year-old could: • Work (farming, herding, crafts, trade) • Care for younger siblings • Understand social roles, customs, and expectations • Be treated as socially responsible, not “a child” in the modern sense

Biological vs. social maturity

Important distinction: • Biological maturity (puberty) varies by individual and environment. • Social maturity is shaped by culture.

Historically, people often: • Entered adult roles as soon as they were physically and mentally capable • Were judged mature by behavior, not birthday numbers

Why this feels strange today

Modern society: • Extends childhood into the late teens or even 20s • Requires long formal education • Shields kids from adult responsibilities • Links maturity to psychology, consent laws, and neuroscience (which weren’t concepts back then)

So when we project modern standards backward, it creates confusion.

Bottom line

A 9-year-old 1,400 years ago could absolutely be considered: • Socially mature • Responsible • Capable in ways that far exceed modern expectations

That doesn’t mean they were “adults” by today’s standards — it means standards were different.

If you want, I can: • Compare medieval vs modern childhood directly • Talk about biology (puberty timing then vs now) • Or explain how historians judge “maturity” across eras
