How did people live and die during the harshest months of the year? How did they stay warm? What did they eat? How did they keep themselves entertained in an age before modern day luxuries like electric blankets, double glazing, and Netflix? The onset of the Little Ice Age, between 1300 until about 1870 meant that the long, dark winters of the Late Middle Ages were colder and more dangerous. With starvation and death from illness always threatening to strike, winter was a frightening time. Welcome to Medieval Madness.

Spooning a pig 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
When a chimney was invented?…about food supply, I think there was also hunting and fishing at least in Scandinavia.
Window from a glass
Wifi must’ve suck
Painting in the thumbnail is shown in Solaris, does anyone know the name?
Are those Nike boots at 3:33? I can just make out a swoosh symbol.
Well, thanks to the insane climate agenda, Europeans get to experience it just like in Medieval times, all over again!
Fighting climate change since the twelve hundreds
Thank you for including the vast majority of the population, the common people, in your historical perspective. One gets weary of always hearing about the lives of the wealthy and royalty, who in reality make up such a small part of the human experience.
Miri it is while the sumer ilast…
Potatoes Eaters ..Van Gogh..
2022 – 2023..history repeats..
Read Ugly History..
Theres a movie made inspired by the bird on the thumbnail painting
Even in my little apartment I’m grateful I was born now and not then.
I imagine they just put the leftist out in the snow and had a quiet Thanksgiving indoors amongst the right sort,, rather like today when we don't have a problem with some people being homeless.
Did they listen to Fleet Foxes?
What's the painting in the thumbnail called?
Wow, they even had man made climate change way back then 😂
M1eanehile in Scotland.
Stone walls, cavity dry stone walling incorporating drainage inside the wall.
Life's a doodle these days you get everything you need without those medieval people we would not be here living a life of luxury 😊
Reads like something from game of thrones books.
i 'member it snowing in milan once.
Europeans this year lol
Great famine! Why did these folks not put into place climate change policies-obviously, the famine was caused by climate change!
I have an old picture of the scene advertising this video. Does anyone know the artist or when it was painted?
Living in the midwest I often wonder how native Americans managed to survive the harsh winters here in Minnesota
This whole video, the person speaks like he has never been near a open fire,
Every where was tons and tons of free wood, dried perfectly to burn
The fires were huge and no one was cold ever , less they went outside,
which in truth they did a lot of living outside as at this point we still recognized we were part of nature
And not sperate from it, like the delusion most of us live in today
Funny how we selected our mates to be hairless which would have solved everything during winter. But it's simply not attractive. Evolution working a bit backwards
The violin at the beginning sent me to a difference place. What is that from??
I wonder what those indoor fireplaces meant for people’s health
Continuate a riferire del Medioevo come ai tempi bui, ma forse prima di usare questa denominazione, dovreste leggere i libri sul Medioevo, scritti dal Professore Barbero, che è un grandissimo studioso di quel periodo, e potreste magari usare queste espressioni con molta più avvedutezza!!!!!
Spooning a pig. 😂😂😂😂
And yet it was much warmer before… climate emergency!!
You might consider slowing your narration! Otherwise wonderful production & information.
Very modern materialist take. Would have been nice to see contemporary perspective
Not sure about you. But I prefer to fornicate during the cold months 😂
Some Baltic, Nordic, and Finnish people had masonry stoves even as early as the medieval period. These were basically indoor brick and clay ovens built into a corner and vented through a chimney. The massive masonry stored heat, radiating it slowly over time, and a single hot fire once a day could cook the family's bread and other food and keep the house warm for many hours. Also, these people in the far north had abundant sources for warm fur clothing and dense forests for firewood and log house construction. Well-built log houses are much warmer than the tile-roofed stone or wattle and thatch used further south. The far north was not suited for agriculture, so the people there had not cleared the forests to grow crops as they did in the UK and most of continental Europe. Thus, the northerners had plenty of firewood and quality building materials. There are log buildings in Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Faeroe Islands that are over a thousand years old and still functioning well.
"Viking" is what they did, not who they were. They were Scandinavians, mainly from Norway and Iceland and were mostly farmers who raided in between seasons. There is no single group or tribe of these people who called themselves "Vikings". They might refer to themselves, while raiding, as "vikingr", just as an artist would refer to themselves as a "painter", not as a "paint". You're welcome for the language lesson.
Imagine how good it felt to go outside on that first warm spring day and feel the sun on your face.
Ironically, switch over to North America. Settlements along rivers meant that food was ALWAYS plentiful, the first settlers were saved by indiginous people who showed them what to eat in winter. A teepee is actually remarkably good housing when you have a fire and skins. Deep snow in forests meant that game was relatively easy to follow and catch. But the most important thing was that you went where food was, you didn't expect food to come to you. So you moved during different seasons to where food was. In many ways life in pre settlement america was pretty ideal. ALWAYS lots of food, good housing, and apart from finding food, there was no 'work' to be done. THere's a book called "WE were not the Savages" and it makes a pretty good point.
