Did Medieval People Have Rotten Teeth: 5:15
Soap and washing Did they have soap in medieval times: 12:50
"Garderobes" are what we call cloak rooms in Dutch. Always sounded logical to me, the "guard of robes" so to speak. Makes me wonder how toilets got that specific name in medieval times. Anyone have an idea?
Medieval Toilets The awful truth!: 22:47
The BRUTAL Rules Medieval Guilds Forced Everyone to Follow: 35:16

I wish there were a collaboration between you and Geschichtsfenster. This would be a proper ammount of knowledge.

Thank you for saving our history and culture
@tonyt79481:43 Specifically the English (and probably French) longbow archers were lopsided while mounted archers like the Ottomans don’t show this since they trained both sides.
@ĻěxłęxļêxłëxļẽReally surprised but pleased at their tooth work. At least they didn't have sugar yet. Think that arrived in Tudor times.
@user-bj3jn1sq7ySo, it wasn't the first time I listened to the story at the end, which is basically historical fiction as we know it, but I was as enraptured as the first time I heard it - you, sir, are an excellent storyteller and explainer.
My respect, cheers!
'Mad as a hatter'
@IkerMaelLyonJason- This was, as always, totally brilliant. I found myself “feeling” that I was there too (sights, sounds and the busyness of life came truly alive)! Young folk will NEVER learn as much from ridiculous and tiresome AI “information” , nor get any notion of how life and people really were! Kudos to you for sharing your extensive knowledge with us.
@Blackwater1952I wish I had a friend like you to talk to.
@AprilWhitaker-q4wYou make amazing videos. But about vleaning rhe teeth.... charcoal or bicarbonate. Same as for your man beans or arm pits, just add fine sand or clay.
@roberthussar3805Love these channels that clear up the misconceptions of the middle ages. A beautiful age.
@LamiNalchorThe nightwatchers is not that surprising, becourse the natural way of sleeping is a segmented sleep and not a long single 8 hour sleep that was introduced with the industrialism
@marcusfridh8489OMG!!! I felt like this ended on a cliffhanger! I need to know what happened!
@jessicamccullough67431:08:00 I think that heating the glass first is a better option. Hot water for a minute. ❤
@edwardhoulton8725These are my favorite kinds of videos you make, descriptions of everyday life. I can watch them repeatedly. 😊
@maradeparade1One thing that wasn't brought up for dental care was chewing mint leaves. Mint grows like a weed, so it's not in short supply.
@shawndeanmackenziePeople forget very quickly. Twigs were used for cleaning teeth until early XX century in rural Poland. My grandmother used to tell me about it.
@alfrednOObel2Someone in a Comment on another channel recommended you, so here I am .. . I Subscribed about 10 minutes into this video! I need to binge watch your channel.
The sudden ending of this video took me completely by surprise! I had to take it back a bit, only to find the same thing happen. Nooooo…… I was so into it I didn’t want it to end!
Loved this! Thanks!
@JohnnyAlbertaOkay... but what happens next?? I'm engrossed!
@rachaeltumer1498still waiting for that fantasy rpg i know is in the works
@seanbirtwistle649I always enjoy your content, thank you!
@bethsangree397Love these videos, but the height arguments don't hold up, mare. The beds, the chairs, the stairs all confirm the ceilings and doors. Tge norm was substantially shorter.
@la_scrittice_vitaInteresting, the merchants guilds were like today’s multinational corporations.
@bethsangree397This is a great video and I love this channel so much...but listening to a man brush his teeth with a twig is probably the most unpleasant thing i've experienced all week
@moonflower5553So interesting. As a fairly uneducated individual this is fascinating and delivered with such passion and humble knowledge. Thank you
@STFF988Could you provide a link for your book? I would like to purchase a copy. Thank you.
@Greybeard_TheologyA true champion of the faith and warrior for the historical realm. Thank you as always.

using a drop spindle, weaving, knitting and crochet are quite meditative.
also, notaries are still important.
I miss the old logo, "modern" without serif and "history" with serif
@bugrilyusCompletely of track but I just got a horse that you might be interested in, up on my feed. It an Italian war horse called Murgese. The look of it reminds me of Warlord. Might be something you might want to make a video of
@maxinedurling3425Cloves have anti microbial, anti inflammatory and pain relief properties. Chewing them and keeping them against a tooth that has aches will soothe the pain.
@amierikke622557:24 Istvan Toth style
@gixxer6000adorei
@clissonibInteresting, bad breath was considered a disease carrier but a 6 week old bucket of piss was sought after… luckily times have changed, lol.
@purdyquibbThe chaperon increases your charisma score in KCD2
@Omar_listeninAre the compilations a sign that something on this channel is changing? Because i do not see why they need to exist.
@vulkandrache1928Victorian Era "Academics" and "Scholars" did more damage to our perceptions of our Medieval Ancestors than, i think, any other institution or group of people.
@SoulSoundMuiscI love this content. So wholesome and removed from the day to day horrible happenings in the world
@emmapinn5216It seems to me that a simple angled board below the guarderobe hole could be used to direct matter away from the walls of a building, and also serve the purposes of modesty.
@jermainerace4156Gong ❤
@JD-re3cjI adore your show and the manner of delivery IMMENSELY! How it almost feels like being told an immersive story, and the descriptive comparisons and demonstrations..like that excellent university professor one may have had. Keep up the great work! 😊
