In this episode, we explore what life was like in medieval castles. Castles were not just fortresses, they were bustling centers of society where knights trained, merchants traded, and kings feasted with nobles and jesters in grand halls. However, castles were also crowded with servants and multiple generations living under one roof.
Hygiene was a challenge in the medieval world. While noble lords bathed occasionally, common folk relied on fragrant herbs and potions. Clean water was scarce, and alcohol was often consumed as a safer alternative to contaminated water.
Rats were notorious troublemakers in castles, scurrying through corridors and nibbling at belongings. Beneath the castle, the dungeons whispered tales of unspeakable horrors, where poor souls were tortured and left as feasts for the castle's relentless rats.
Despite the challenges, people coped with scarce resources and rat infestations to survive castle life. The episode provides an intriguing look into the daily life of people living in medieval castles.
