A playlist doesn’t work like an individual video.
Just pick the first video in the playlist and use the link for only that video.  Are We Still Able To Build Medieval Castles? | Secrets Of The Castle | Timeline |

Still interesting though. It just crazy to think that your whole life could be just doing one job on one building project....and even several generations on things like cathedrals.
Women must have been pretty damn strong from all of that grinding of grain daily.... |

I love the series that this group produces. I just watched Edwardian and Wartime Farm. The UK puts out some very good documentary type shows.

Yep, they did one on the farmers during the WWII era, and how they were encouraged & helped to farm every square inch of arable land. The women went out & gauged trees & cut them down for rifle stocks & such. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That stuff fascinates me, but every time I see a movie about that era, I think of the smell. That new castle has shit ports on the towers. Basically, the house lord's turd just falls to a cess pit three stories down. Can you even imagine being a peasant in charge of the cess pit? You look up every morning, look up to see the King's nuts and asshole and await the bombardment? "Oi 'ate it when His Loordship eats tha plum puddin' the night before....Oi'm on a ladda, scrubbin' tha wolls if'n the wind gets to blowing to 'ard."  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That stuff fascinates me, but every time I see a movie about that era, I think of the smell. They took whore's baths and changed their undergarments daily, used fresh flowers and herbs, brushed their teeth, used perfume when available, swam, bathed once a week or some, and even washed their clothes. They would have smelled like people smell without deodorant, but the stench you imagine wasn't near as bad as one would be lead to believe. We know because people like Ruth Goodman have lived like the Medieval and Renaissance people did for periods just to see how it was. |

The most coveted position in Medieval England was the Groom of the Stool. It was a member of the nobility who literally wiped the king's ass for him. He was closer to the king than anyone else and had the king's ear. |

I believe that's the absolute history crew on youtube. They have a lot of cool series like that. The castle one is probably the best, but they have several others worth watching.

One of the Ruth Goodman BBC shows was on life on a Tudor Monastery Farm (obviously what life was like before Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries) and there was companion book with it. |

If you liked that, Amazon has a really good series on knights you'd probably like, let me find it.
https://www.amazon.com/For-Fame-and-Honour/dp/B07P9KFG8Z It covers the history and social milieu knights were in, but also technical analysis of their weapons and armor. |

While you history buffs are here, I cannot leave this thread without recommending a book.
I sub to Smarter Everyday on YouTube. In an ad blurb at the end of a video he recommended this book: Salt:A World History. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2715.Salt He basically said: "This book about salt may sound lame, but when I started it, I could not put it down." I audio booked it and agree that it is one of the most fascinating historical books I've ever enjoyed. Being from the 20th Century, I had no idea just how important a commodity simple salt was in all the preceding history of man. |
