Additional info as I can't sleep...  From
http://www.hyw.com/Books/History/Medieval.htm

"Those who survived childhood diseases, could look forward to twenty or
thirty good years before the infirmaties of "old age" (one's 40s and 50s)
closed in. Some sturdy, and lucky, individuals lived into their 60s, 70s,
and even 80s, marvels to their neighbors and an example of how far God's
blessings could extend a person's life."

What this means is that, ignoring infant mortality, a medieval average
lifespan is about 50.  Make of this what you will.
