The thirteenth and fourteenth centuries witnessed dramatic changes in the family structure of Europe. The nuclear family and the companionate household became the main features of societal organisation in western Europe. Some scholars go even as far as linking the divergent economic development of the West to these drastic changes as the so-called European Marriage Pattern (EMP) gradually got hold.1 Whether the emergence of these phenomena can be linked to the demographic and social upheaval following the Black Death, or whether they were caused by other variables (changing economic organisation, changing power relations, etc.), the breakthrough of the household as structuring organisation of society must have dramatically changed the social position of single women in the city, and influenced their place in the organisation of the economy.
