Why You Wouldn't Survive In Medieval time 

With your current knowledge and/or profession what would you be doing in the medieval times?

“You were born as a peasant and you will die as a peasant.” *I feel personally attacked*

Medieval times wouldn't survive me

It's crazy to think that 2 people alive during medieval times are directly responsible for me being here today.

Take a minute. Think about all the countless times your countless ancestors could have died resulting in you not being here. It truly boggles the mind.

Yeah this is true because all of my ancestors are dead

Me: *gets transported in to Medieval Europe** Also me: *coughs a little** Whole Europe: *dies**

Me in Medieval Times: Why you dressed funny like that? Townsfolk: OFF WITH HIS HEAD.

“An epidemic breaks up and there’s little they can do but shut themselves up in their houses”...sounded like a frightening thought, now is just reality.

Love how he automatically assumes I'll be born as a peasant lol... Most likely I'd be declaired a witch appearing out of nowhere and be beheaded the same day. The End 👏👏👏

Me: *Gets transported into medieval age* Me: now where's the quest giver?

I always roll my eyes whenever I see most people romanticizing past ages and wish they lived back then. Yes, enjoy your poor medical, easily treated diseases, serfdom, peasantry, and misery(not counting survival experts though).

Living in modern day Scotland has given me an appreciation for how my ancestors had to survive. Winter lasts months, rain, gale force winds all the time, barely any sun. I can't even imagine what it was like to live in parts of Russia/Scandinavia in these Medieval days.

In a hundred years or so: why you wouldn’t survive in 2019 Australia

I'd keep a smartphone on me so when I take someone's picture I can say their soul is mine unless they pay up

It's so incredible how my ancestors were able to survive and how I am still here ..👍

Plot Twist: No one in Medieval Times will survive YOU... 1 sneeze and you just commited a Biological Terrorattack on Humanity

"every man carries a sword or at least a knife" so basically the UK?

A tiny cut: I'm about to end this persons whole career

“You and your wife” Hahaha, you think the only way I can get married, is if I go back to the medieval ages! .... Ok?

You steal a pencil Medieval times: Death by drawn and quartered

Then you met a guard saying "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."

100 years from now, why you wouldn’t survive in Florida in 2019.

I’ve often wondered if I would survive if I went back in time. This was an interesting journey

I recommend the book The Proud Villeins by Valerie Anand. It's so under-rated! In fact, I wish the whole Bridges Over Time series would be adapted for TV; The Proud Villeins begins in 1066, and The Dowerless Sisters (the 6th, final book) ends in the 1960s.

"Thy mother homosexual -nay thee" *Sound of clashing weapons*

This version of medieval life seems to be an amalgam of the worst parts of life pulled from every medieval culture from the entire 1,500 year period.

Pick up an instrument and be a wandering minstrel. "It's a long way to the top if you want to dance Carole"."For those who move a rock, we salute you"."You've been hungerstruck".

"Why you wouldnt survive medieval times" *proceeds to survive every challenge he says*

False, i went to medieval times in Orlando... I walked right out with a full stomach

“For those who fought for it, freedom has a taste that those protected will never know”

I love Infographic, they just answer every query. Glad I live in the 21st century

Each of us had hundreds, thousands ancestors living in these times. Thanks to them you are here.

Me: *teleported to the Middle Ages* *Chuckles* I’m in danger

Easyyyy Just look up the hidden loot chests

There were A LOT of rules and laws NOT to carry a sword in town. Knives were carried sure but it's not that different from current days. Also swords were really expensive, only rich folk had swords in the early/mid medieval times. Armies had to often be disbanded for the harvest and planting seasons for food production and sometimes for winter too to conserve the food. Peasants were usually supposed to bring their own equipment when drafted. Arming an army was expensive and would the lords want to do that when they could save the money to build a stone castle.

This video really makes us appreciate science and technological innovation

*spoiler* Everyone who tried living in the medieval times has died by now.

"Why you wouldn't survive in the Medieval time" No wifi.

I love this show I binged it last night for like 3 hours and I wasn't disappointed can't believe i didn't know this existed sooner

Me who descended from nobility: Life back then wasn't as bad as everyone claims.

This appears to be more realistic than I thought, still there's one major flaw: Your immune system isn't adapted to a rough world and life like that at all. You may be vaccinated against many diseases that rumble across the lands, but there might also be some that got extinct in the modern world, to them you'd be extremely vulnerable. Also, if you weren't hitting the gym three times a week or having a very physically hard job, you wouldn't be fit enough for efficiently doing many of the tasks presented in this example. Me for example: I know loads of stuff about medieval times in Europe, but I get sick every two weeks and don't lift, so I'd probably die of some sickness after short time.

"Why you wouldn't survive in medieval times" Dragonborn: Hold my beer

"An epidemic breaks out and there's little anyone can do but shut themselves up in their houses" Hmmmmmmmm...sounds familiar

And history repeats itself, over and over again... amazing video, it’s great to learn about past ages, so much we have to learn

The Infographics Show: "Why you wouldn't survive the medieval times." Me: *looks at my dark skin* Edit: how TF was Africa more civilized than Europe? The Europeans just walked all over us like we didn't exist.

Person: *coughs* Europe: Why do I hear boss music?

Arrival: Eventually starve to death trying to remember what to invent or discover. Plot twist: Become advisor to the King/Quenn/Lord

Interesting video.. You can try to do a video on the same idea but something like beeing in the medieval world but with modern mentalities

9:22 There never would be an order to "fire". The term "fire" when it comes to projectile weapons didn't get used until funnily enough fire arms were common. If any term was used they would've said "loose".

Me: **gets transported to Medieval Europe** Random European guy: **dies of smallpox** Also me: **laughs in immunity**

This makes me wonder. If someone with say a 2019 flu strain traveled back in time to the medieval era. How dealy would it be

I've played sneak archer in skyrim enough along with enough recroom archery experience to handle myself (I've actually made an attachment that adds resistance,not as much,but some)

My knowledge of mathematics and physics could make me a siege engineer hopefully at that time.

me has a gun in the medieval time me: parry this you casual

@TheInfographicsShow can u do a video on if someone took a modern day weapon to the past before gunpowder

Conscripted soldiers even peasants were almost ALWAYS given some form armour. It might be a gambison but that was actually decent armor. It would take a few sword swings in the same area to get through.

7:07 I love the pineapples and bananas being sold at the European medieval market. Do I even spot tomatos?

Kingdom come deliverence I heard is an accurate representation of living in medieval times as a peasent who becomes a soldier.

Every medieval anime or isekai that has a “dark ages” universe would be a nightmare to live in.

I would love to see a film about a time traveller who has to become a medieval peasant. After a few years getting used to it and maybe finding a wife, he is drafted into the army. For his heroism in a battle or two, he gets knighted and maybe saves the king's life so he gives him a keep or a holdfast. Over time he keeps on winning battles and is a general on the same level of Napoleon in terms of tactical genius. Eventually, calls grow for him to claim the crown as king as the most popular lord in the land and a powerful army loyal to him. Kind of like Gladiator but maximus takes the deal to become emperor. From rags to king.

Or you "invent" things that were invented in the future and make yourself rich or be called a witch and be burned at a stake for said "invention" if your unlucky

*arrives in medieval times via time machine* "I am here now" *breathes* *dies from plague*

i really love the way the buildings were styled back then, especially the inns. all we have now is simple modern buildings, literally like just squares👹

i have "life in a medieval village"! and the town and the castle ones too! cool reference!

0:10 "It's hard being a peasant" Me: Yes it is, my friend.

*Why you wouldn't survive In medieval time* Our ancestors from 450-1492: Am I A Joke To You?

Can you make a parallel video based on the same concept but with us being *us* (taking into account our current knowledge). How far a regular person vs someone who knows a lot about math, cosmology, physics, a historian and a salesman.

*there needs to be a version where you survived the war*

I'll survive even in the age of dinosaurs if they have wifi

I'm fascinated by Medival times. There's something so mythical about it.

My grandparents told me that, never in their wildest dreams did they think that they would live to see their 60's or 70's. (My grandfather fought in WW2.)

Great D&D character backstory!

Not a cellphone in sight! Everyone just living in the moment. Wish we could go back!

Me: Sleeps Woke up hearing "You're finally awake."

"Why is this recommended suddenly?" 8:00 Oh that's why.

"THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!" I got a million questions about S- Mart.

" A weapon like a sword and axe. " So helberd?

I like to imagine that he’s telling the tale and “Yew” is the main character.

Back then only the strongest can survive. These days even the weakest can survive.

You can’t spell medieval without me die

Me wakes up in middle ages Bubonic plague: *WAKE UP TIME TO DIE*

Infographics show: you wouldn’t survive medieval times! Renaissance Fair actor: Am I a joke to you?

The announcer sure seems cheery describing those bleak times

Thank you narrator for sharing your incredible experiences! Me: as historian and my gadgets full of history movies Medieval kings: Vow to the holy messenger!!

In medieval periods, there was accessible clean water. Not all water was contaminated.

Its funny how the kid in the start is smiling while he's holding hands with death

Lol I just love how you call the serfs villains XD

What you described here my friend is life for many farmers in Africa and India in 2020

"Chances are slim that you'll wake up tomorrow"

You went from giving a history lesson to telling a compelling story, wish you finished the story!!! I was wondering what happened on the battlefield and my family back home. ):

I'm thankful to my mom and dad now🙂

I would love to stop by with the spartans and train with them! Ahaha

Oh yeah super late at night and watching about me surviving medieval times

seems like a miracle we're able go this far

"It's hard being a peasant" 😂😂😂😂

**Picks up an axe from the barn** "I am a mercenary."

"Why you wouldn't survive in Medieval time You Would Die" I'd die at any time in human history, because people die no matter the time or place, it's what people do, die

Me: *wakes up in medieval time* Me: *thinks this is an isekai*

Almost all of the time in England in particular, villages weren't laid out randomly. You only have to look at deserted medieval villages such as Wharram Percy, Gainsthorpe, Little Oxenden, Priors Marston etc. to see that there was a linear pattern with streets, hollow ways and garden systems. You would have been no more than ten feet from your neighbour most of the time if you were both in your houses. Also on the subject of "everyone" carrying swords or at least knives - not everyone would carry a sword and there were strict laws that prohibited you from carrying them into a city boundary.
