This most certainly is not the history of romantic love, or courtly love, arising from the time of the Troubadours in the 1100s. Peasants and nobility did not compete for the same class of woman. The average peasant female of the time was no prize for any man. She was an unattractive, dirty, dullard with few attributes. Thus the need for dowries to get them out of their fathers' houses.
