About this video

We walk through a full day in the life of an ordinary English peasant during the Middle Ages. Based entirely on real historical records, not fantasy tropes and a bit of speculation. From sunrise in the fields to meals, family life, work, and rest, discover how tough, busy, and surprisingly organised their days really were. You'll learn: What time peasants woke up (and why it wasn’t always dawn), What they actually ate (hint: not just bread and gruel). The jobs men, women, and children did.
Whether you're into medieval history, building immersive fantasy worlds, or just curious about how different life used to be, this video offers a grounded, eye-opening look at the real medieval experience.
