No toilets. Rats everywhere. Almost no bathing. Medieval castles weren’t royal luxury—they were survival zones. Could you last even one night inside?

If you like learning about medieval life, I greatly suggest the books by Frances and Joseph Gies.
The books might be a bit old, but they tend to cover details that many books skip over (medieval women, for example).

In this video, it is interesting and he does a great job, but he does get some things about mead wrong. He says "metheglin" is "honey and fermented fruit juice," but mead infused with fruit is a "melomel," where as a metheglin is mead with herbs and spices. There are some surviving medieval metheglin recipes you can look up. Also, mead is also not always wine-like. For example: a "braggot" is a beer-like mead.

"From drunken brawls to rapes and mass killings, violence cast a long shadow over the Middle Ages. Yet, says historian Hannah Skoda, our medieval ancestors were just as appalled by wanton acts of brutality as we are today..." (#Humanity at its best!) -

Some marginalia do not need a caption save it's "A chicken riding a goat and jousting with a flower."
LIke many of the marginalia I find, the poster did not cite the manuscript.
