People did starve in Medieval times. This is why workhouses and Magdalene asylums were built to look after single mothers.

Magdalene asylums came about in the late 18th century through the 19th century

That is right. Britain and Ireland got much richer so we could afford to keep single mothers alive.

How you starve at Medieval Times is beyond me ... they're literally throwing food at you while the knights are jousting.
