What Winter Was REALLY Like Inside a Medieval Castle | Relaxing History for Sleep
Step into the echoing stone corridors of a 13th-century fortress in the dead of winter. Tonight, your guide, The History Watchman, takes you on a journey through the "Night Shift." While the rest of the medieval world sleeps, a secret life hums within the castle walls. From the lonely guard on the snowy battlements to the Fire Warden tending the eternal hearth, discover how people survived the biting chill before the age of modern heating. Relax as we explore the sensory details of the past: the smell of oak smoke and beeswax, the weight of fur-lined wool, and the rhythmic sound of a crackling fire against stone. In this episode, we explore: The Hierarchy of Warmth: Who got the best spots by the fire? Medieval Insulation: How tapestries and canopy beds acted as "room-within-a-room" heaters.
