  Medieval Childhood - Birth Thursday 16 May 2002  
In the medieval period the arrival of a child was inextricably wrapped up with religious rites and lore - not surprising considering the potential dangers of infancy.

Henrietta Otley speaks to forensic archeologist Professor Margaret Cox and to Professor Nicholas Orme, author of Medieval Children.
Medieval Children, Professor Nicholas Orme, Yale University Press; ISBN: 0300085419, £25
