That's industrialisation. Much more is produced, and this isn't a bad thing. But it also means that people work more. They say that using clocks at works spaces changed everything. Before that, is simply doing what you need to do and see how much the day gives you. Specific work hours don't exist. With a clock however, the lord or rather industry baron at that time can implement deadlines, and work hours.

Slave and pesant are 2 different things. Peasant had to work certain number of days for the lord and in their "free time" they worked their land (rented one, paid rent in products) to feed their family. So they did not have more free time than Americans. They had more church holidays but of course worked 6 days a week from dawn to dusk all year round. Yes, in winter too, indoors if outside conditions were bad.

Honestly, it never occurred to me that Medieval peasants had down time. I just thought they worked in the fields all day and then went to sleep when it got dark.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but it could have been like this: you could either buy someone else's house that they are selling, or you could build your own.

Forced conversions on the pain of death were limited to Norway during the rule of Olaf Tryggvason whose reign only lasted for 5 years but he was overthrown and religious tolerance seems to have been restored. That was the only time in Scandinavian history where conversions where carried out with force. Also paganism definitely did not survive. It gradually faded away. Any leftover paganism within catholicism would have completely disappeared with the Protestant reformation in Scandinavia, which was hostile to the more pagan practises within Catholicism like the worship of saints.

@@menotyou9836 The earliest known reference to football that was written in English is a 1409 proclamation issued by King Henry IV. It imposed a ban on the levying of money for "foteball". It was specific to London, but it is not clear if payments had been claimed from players or spectators or both.

awesome video

@ 2:00 there's a form of football/soccer played in a town called Atherstone in England that is pretty similar to the medeival form of soccer/football that is talked about in this video. there's videos of the 'atherstone ball game' it on KZread. It's basically just a mass brawl. a lot of people get hurt and a lot of property gets damaged every time it's played. looks pretty fun tho, not gonna lie.

You should do a video on the history of Britain's tea time...
