I lived in Germany, in Bavaria. For an American, it's incredible how much history intertwines with current daily life in Europe. My son's pediatrician's offices were located next to the ancient Landsberg city walls. We listened to strong quartets play in Gothic churches, worked in a Schloss complete with a dungeon last used by the Nazis.

@@angelikashipman3260 Absolutely! I have a firm belief that young people from the US need to travel, perhaps live for a while in other countries. It can, and maybe should, be on the cheap. Experiencing another culture opens ones heart and minds to other's experiences. Although, being first generation Mexican American, I had spent much time in Mexico- living in Germany was revolutionary. The lands, people, art, having a baby, shopping in grocery stores, walking on old cobblestones all gave me a deeper connection with a world outside my own.

I spent two weekends camped in the yard between the two towers of Munzenberg Castle as part of a medieval recreation week in the 1970’s. I stood on the battlements one night and looked out across the valley to see the lights of the villages.

Great show! His position reminds me of when I was the production manager (#2 position) at a big manufacturing facility. My boss, the plant manager, was always gone at conferences or visiting corporate or whatever. My days were spent running around making sure every thing was running; machines, hourly employees, union employees, contractors, production schedules, entertaining visits by customers and vendors... Never a dull moment. Middle management is one of the toughest positions for sure, even back in the 13th century 😅

That was remarkably good, not just an informative history documentary standing by itself itself but tied into a compelling and very satisfying story.

This was the best. documentary I've ever seen. It was clear and informative while covering a day in the life kind of explanation as well as a story that was entertaining .

So many documentaries about Medieval history are very Anglo-centric, so it's good to finally see one that's set in the Continent! This makes me think of the Codex Manesse!😁

Hi, can you help me, please? Love this doc, but where does all this take place? In what is now Germany? At the beginning they mention the Roman Empire! What? And "Frederick"? Roman Empire? 1218? Thanks.

The best use, and execution of fictional dramatisation i've yet seen. Very well done!

This video is so d interesting and very well made! I never knew about the ins, outs, and survival related to castles and life in this period of time, wonderful job 👏

Fantastic documentary. Really enjoyed it.

great watch/upload. 👍 thank you

What a good , good documentary. The first acted documentary I have watched in KZread, supported by commentaries from live on camera historians , besides there is the narration itself which is very good .

This is one of my favourite documentaries on this topic by far; super entertaining, informative & well made!

I grew up in an American castle built in the 1700's by a man named Norris. He was very wealthy and that's what he built. By the time we lived in it the library with a huge organ was taken down and was basically a big patio but it was a brilliant experience just living there. He built two large two story houses for his servants down the way a bit and my friends lived there.

@@stevovimy Well yea, I mean, of course. It was in the US. it obviously wasn't built by a medieval European lord for protection it was built by that Norris guy to live in in the 18th century. It was a castle though in the fact that it was built as a castle is built just that it didn't serve the purpose that a real castle does.

this is a great video....the main msg, to me, says it doesn't matter where we come from as long as we can come to a resolution

what a great video- great story

My ancestors were from Germany and came here in 1738 aboard the ship “The Thistle” arriving in Philadelphia in 1738. They are said to be from Schloss Berg/Burg on the upper Rhine River. We are supposedly from the castle there. We have quite a few family members that do genealogy, including myself. My maiden name is Funderburg which was originally vonderburg meaning “from the castle or from the mountain”. It’s interesting to see this.

This is an excellent dramatization of history. It's fictional, sure. But it's entertaining while still being informative. It's a good story with a protagonist you can feel for who has to overcome challenges and you learn a bit about medieval history. It doesn't hurt that the 10th to 13th centuries are my favorite part of European history.

Love listening to German. Don’t understand more than a word or two but love listening.

I really enjoyed that! Better than most so called Hollywood epics!

This is awesome. Do you think you can do more of the Middle Ages period? Maybe the Wars of the Roses or the 100 Years War.
