Live Science has an article about the reconstructed appearance of a medieval Norwegian woman which has been installed in a museum in the city of Trondheim. Her skeleton was found in a churchyard in Trondheim and her date of birth assigned to the late 1200s. It is thought she attained an age of about 65.
This appears to me to be one of the most credible of such reconstructions and the thinking associated with it as set out in the article is to be commended.
The article can be read at Meet a medieval woman named 'Tora' who lived 800 years ago in Norway
