   She was roughly 15. By that I mean, Prospero says that she was not yet three years old when they were exiled to the island, and that it has been a dozen years that they are there. That could be 14 (less than 3 + 12), or it could be 15, since I doubt Prospero is keeping a precise calendar.

   Miranda was 13 as far as I know of. Back in those days people were allowed to marry at this age. It is weird though, because if she and Prospero have been on the Island for 12 years, and she remembers maids in a big house, she must have a really good memory to remember stuff from when she was 2 or 3!
