Medieval Peasant Life: The Gross Yet Essential Ingredients & Jobs 🏰

Jason Kingsley, the Modern Knight wonders if you could handle the dirtiest jobs of the Middle Ages? We dive into the disgusting but essential industries built on human waste, from gong farmers shovelling night soil, to tanners collecting dog dung and urine for leather, to medieval cesspits and the trades that relied on them. These grim professions kept towns and cities running, even if they came with terrible smells, low status, and dangerous working conditions.
We’ll explore the daily reality of these awful medieval jobs, the money they earned, the laws that governed them, and how faeces and urine were recycled into vital industries. It’s a fascinating look at the hidden world of medieval life that you won’t see in the history books.
