Hope they got home safely.

devon the issue is that daily life that long ago is harder to piece together. We know about the politics a bit more because somebody wrote it down. But yeah I totally agree.

Look up Secrets of the Castle series of videos. Very good information and well presented

what interesting about it?

Agreed! When I tour castles or plantations, I want to see the kitchens, stables, servants quarters. I want to see peasant homes, farmhouses and tenements. Thats the fascinating stuff!

I really need that on 18th century court life

Definitely Lol

That Lord did look like Mose, Dwight’s cousin🤣🤣🤣

I want this to be made into an office like comedy. If they could make comedy shows about ww2 pow camps then certainly medieval times is possible

I kept waiting for the Lord of the land to make awkward jokes about the peasants, or start up awkward conversations with his house staff. lol

@@MedievalRichard Sounds awesome, send link?

The past sure was interesting!...but I still would rather live in today’s day despite all the commotion, since before it was honestly scary, especially if you were a slave & poor.

Here in Syracuse, we have a place called saint Marie Among the Iroquois. I swear. So well performed by the reenactors you'd swear you went back in time.

dont worry, we are being oppressed and exploited by capitalism but do you see us revoluting?

@@EmyGrachy I think we're revolting, but we don't do anything 😂

Most people still live like peasants, especially on 3rd world countries. The only difference is that now they have more opportunities to become middle class and even high class.

@@EmyGrachy Capitalism is not a political ideology it is a way to organize the market and if the means of production should be owned by private entities or the masses, how we use the profit, how we organize society thats a different story. You can ponder to the rich and powerfull companies by lowering their taxes and have no regulations, or you can use taxes for broader society, and have regulations to protect the environment and allow competition to protect people from monopolies.

I agree I think isnt what your saying is what the peasants we're doing in relation to the Lord's pandering is just what's happening now.yet only on a bigger scale.cqpitalism has it's ups and downs and faults to.

@@darkkiss7247 Not a bit.

WTF I thought he was the father of the guy 😱

Wil I KNOW!!

Wil Loll sane here, I keep thinking why there’re not showing the groom at the party

Yes, that always irritates me. And clothes were expensive so they would have looked after them

And why do the poor people have the rotten teeth when they never saw sugar in their lives? A diet of cereal and vegetables isn't likely to cause rot.

Alli G theres still sugars in vegetables and fruits, they’re just natural sugars. It can still rot the teeth and there’s also malnutrition/illness that can cause teeth to rot and get weaker. The acids in vomit for example can break down the “protective layer” on teeth and cause cavities as it eats away. Malnutrition can cause bad teeth through, well, lack of nutrition. The bones and teeth (since that’s also bone lol) can get weaker due to lack of vitamins and calcium, so peasants could’ve been affected if they’re genuinely too poor to eat regularly. Other than that, people in the medieval era only took baths once a year whereas vikings were recorded to bathe once a week. Most soaps werent made with detergents either, so although they’d look clean there’d be germ orgies all over them. I see the peasants looking that dirty but the tooth rot does seem far fetched.

Alli G The bread during that time also caused break down of the teeth, since the flour was hard to grind down.

Same reason "historians" say peasants never had time off. Every one of the 140 odd church holidays was time off.

Pretty much hahahhaa

Mose was a king. Always knew he was hiding something.

@@SumOneSomewhere he's not wrong

Even if Sundays were days of worship and prayer, you still have to tend to the lifestock and if the harvest needs to be brought in, it doesn't matter what day of the week it is. So "time off" is a bit of a matter of discussion.

I agree. The old guy might have married a younger widow because he wanted more children, but the parents would have set the girl up with a young adult, perhaps early 20s so he was more independent than she.

I believe arranged marriages were a common thing for commoners as well(mostly freemen). They will probably try to matchmake their daughters with someone successful like a high ranking guild member or a wealthy merchant.

Joeseph Lambert Thank you. You’re very informed and that was interesting to read. How was sex and virginity treated in those days? Was virginity such an important thing?

Not true. What history have you read?

yes but its not the hyrarcy or nobility. its more about live music taverns and beer and something about seeing the world so clean and green instead of buildings . imagine no engine sounds or actually bonding with your living motorcycle.. riding your horse on open fields. not the backwards minded crowd no. the world should be the way it was green and natural with todays eco friendly technology incorporated.

I'm studying in Africa as a historian on Medieval slavery. It's very hard professionally to study, but if you love ur theme you can't never give up... Best wishes to amateur Middle Ages lovers... Love ur interest to the issue, I have enthusiasm when i see the people like you. Thanx.

Ya me too

It’s not plural, there was only one Medieval Age.

Same. I’m literally so curious, and I just wish someone had a time machine to go back and record a real video

Omg thank you😂 I wanted to say this

Your right it feels like reality tv and it feels very realistic and very enjoyable for people and getting them into history and that there would be quite similar to you and that they we aren’t to different to people 600 years ago

hahahahaha xD

Or a better false beard

The problem with "love" as we understand it today, is that we mix the physical, emotional, and mental into one emotion. There was no such concept: the 3 were very separate. The word "love" was a synonym for "lust", and considered a bad base for marriage as it was transitory and inflammatory. They valued "affection" and "suitability," what we consider the emotional and mental aspects of love. This whole thing about being shocked at the idea they would consider their daughter's feelings and that she should have no say isn't accurate. Only very great princesses were expected to marry strangers sight unseen. The Church taught that marriage without freely given consent wasn't valid, so potential couples would meet several times to ensure they liked each other and to prove consent wasn't forced. Any later accusation that one party hadn't entered the marriage of their own free will could cause the Church to dissolve the marriage. So while physical attraction and desire wasn't considered too important, to be able to get along, to like and be friendly and content with your potential spouse was very important.

This comment is True! quite inaccurate really...

What's not accurate? Gratefully fizzi

​@@brunoschibli5157 Serfs cleaned routinely and the standard apparel was not a brown bag. Massive age gaps were not the norm, and married at 13 was rare, including among gentry and aristocracy. Consent on the part of both spouses was, in most places, required. Children not meeting their finances prior to marriage was uncommon. There are more, though that gives you a basic idea.

Break this curse. In future, if you would have children, either biological or adopted, don't put them through the same stress ❤️

It's actually the same today in parts

I’m pretty sure sex wasn’t viewed completely like that (atleast in marriage), because bibles today aren’t against what the priest is saying

It was being so happy that kept him going... a regular Job's comforter 😄

@@thetillerwiller4696 there were certain Saints days etc in the Medieval calander when a man & his wife weren't allowed to have sex & were supposed to abstain..If they did indulge, they had to confess their sin!

The Alter is in the wrong position. Remember as for the Priest he would have given the last rites to women dying from child birth so he would be keen to make sure the sexual act was used properly. Saint Raymond Nonnatus ( the unborn ) mother died in child birth as his mother was cut open to deliver him. Sex was not a recreation for relaxation as it post 1960s.

Sadly many women still carry this burden today.

cbradley1391 well yeah nobody would understand that 😂

Back then people died around age 30. So 13 was considered perfect age to marry. In our modern age we would see this as pedophilia and wrong. Take the context of the societies.

@@savantianprince that’s true! You have to consider all of the aspects such as medicine and their health and their basic life expectancy and the way they lived

I don't know, they look dirty and unhygienic.

In the series they did. But real peasants were not that dirty at all. There were different classes for a start. The ones in this vid look like viliens, who were the lowest. But some were free, they had their own councils etc. Could read and write.

If they were animals why did they need priests? Lot of expense for animals. True they believed God ordained it. Also balls of soap have been excavated from peasant cottages, combs and other grooming tools. Soapwort was a plant you could extract a deadline liquid from the roots. It was used by everybody.

Good point Karen. Yeah, everyone thinks that the "peasant class" worked until they dropped then practiced archery on Sundays. It's not accurate. In reality, peasants only worked twice a year, planting and then harvesting. The time in between was pretty much laid back unless there was a war or building projects going on.

@White Knight The three field system required more plowing but the animals did the heavy lifting there but you're right about planting and harvesting being seasonal. What crops were they planting and harvesting more than once a year? The way I understand it, the three field system increased efficiency not workload necessarily; you got more yield out of the same work as the two field system. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a cheerleader for the feudal society. The life of the peasant was pretty miserable but the lords treated them like assets and if you don't take care of your assets then they won't take care of you. They held festivals and holidays like the Roman emperors did for their subjects for the same reasons. There's a tendency today to look at the past through a postmodernist lens where conflict is boiled down to oppressor versus oppressed. It's not that easy. Of the three classes (nobility, clergy and peasants) who were the most powerful? The peasants because they had the numbers, they just didn't know it and they accepted the belief that it was God's will. Even when they did have the upper hand (The Peasant Revolt of 1381) what did they do? They gave power back to the nobility. To them geopolitics was as arcane and alien as rocket science is to you and me. Unless of course you happen to be a rocket scientist. It was a world they couldn't understand and they thought it best to leave that world to those who did understand it.

Our thanks to the beeb for going the extra mile

If the actors were to truly speak in Olde English it would need to be translated. We would find it difficult to understand the nuances of the phrasing of words as they were spoken in those days.

Laying down some knowledge on you. Smelly breath (halitosis) actually comes from tooth decay. (This is not disregarding someone eating, say, an onion or garlic with causes strong breath) but for the most part "rotten" breath wasn't really seen till about the 16th century. Because SUGAR. Sugar is the main reason for tooth decay and the main cause of the smell of halitosis. Really, a peasant before the discovery of sugar, and even after the discovery of sugar (because only the rich could afford sugar). They only ate bread and veggies. Which really didn't cause much tooth decay. There are actual studies showing through courpes, that a medieval/early renaissance peasants had much better dental health than the nobles who could afford sugar. Tl;Dr: the nobles had worst breath than the peasants

Haha. I’m sure it’s not much different than now with some people. Interestingly enough a Medieval peasant did have some primitive form of dental hygiene habits. There is evidence the wealthy had crudely made toothbrushes not much different from what we use today and peasants would use twigs and even salt mixed with herbs to brush their teeth with. This KZfaq channel explains it in more detail if you’re curious. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMmGqsanvMu0mIk.html

Soulful Love it’s highly likely people didn’t really notice breath smells in this time. It wasn’t till the 1900’s that dental companies started claiming halitosis was a thing and selling mouthwash (that was actually supposed to be cleaning fluid btw) as a way to earn more money. Look it up, you’ll see ZERO mention or halitosis or smelly breath until mouthwash starts getting mentioned. Tooth decay does cause bad breath, and that can be solved with some fillings and antibiotics if there’s an infection. But before mouthwash came about I bet everyone had bad breath just from foods they eat that day and morning breath and didn’t realise lol

Chew on a twig and you'll eventually have made your own toothbrush. Use water to rinse. Ta-daa! Brushed teeth peasant style!

They used hazel twigs, salt & cloves to clean their teeth, but even the peasants had better teeth than we do nowadays as they didn't have sugar in their diet, so less tooth decay 😆
