This is all misconception based on being so far removed from that time. Living was not so far different than today. I agree there was no running water in the modern plumbing sense, but they did have pillows and comfort. Mattresses and sheets and blankets. Castles are cool in summer and warm in winter. The "peasants" who served in castles actually lived like the nobles who owned the castles. It was a rare treat to serve in the castle for this reason. They ate well, took baths, had physicians (not modern medicine) so they were as well as the nobles health-wise. This video paints a grim picture but it largely unfounded. Do research from familial memoirs of the time rather than looking at archaeology. Consider what your house would look like to someone 400 years later after you abandon it.

You can still see paint and patterns on bedroom rafters. You can even climb a set of tight windey steps to a parapet where you can look out from. I like to imagine what it must have been like in its prime. Edit - it's got cellars, a kitchen, a great hall with a huge fireplace with carved stone mantelpiece, rooms with the loo cupboard with the hole, it's small, but there's a lot of history there.

Thank you all for saying I'm lucky, my area gets a bad rep just because of some people, but the river Clyde runs along the front of the castle, and you can go on the walkway and walk along the river till you get to a 'abandoned' picnic area, with benches, the bushes are all overgrown, and the path bricks are crumbly, but the tables are still there, I like to walk to one in a shaded patch of trees and read or listen to a podcast. And if you keep walking that way another few miles, you come to an area called ',the 2 tunnels, it's literally as far as you can walk along the Clyde on this side, there's always loads of swans and cygnets, next time I plan to take my metal detector, because that area has had an interesting history 😁 I'm also 10 minutes away from a cemetery, but if you go off path getting there, you're in a weird overgrown place with sets of stairs to nowhere, old lamp posts still standing, and I'm sure there's a Victorian bottle dump around there, it's been left to the wildlife as it's an important habitat, and I want to find the bottle dump if it's there, Ive seen videos of people finding all sorts of really old bottles etc, intact sometimes, it's not quite 'mudlarking', but theres a name for it.

I love this channel, but in this video is so many misconceptions. - Stone accumulates heat in long term, so if you constantly burn fire in the winter rooms in the castle stay comfortably warm. In the summer stone works as an insulation against sun, so is confortably cold even in the hot summer. - The myth about medieval people drinking a lot of alcohol since the water was dirty is only half of true. Most of the villages and castles was build around wells or close to the rivers with clean water. They also collected rainwater. All people in the castles has very good source of clean water, if the castle was not besieged. To stay clean you onle few litres of water and they clean themself every day if it was possible. It is only logical since they believed that bad smell indicates desiase. Only people who drank only alcohol was soldiers on expedition and travelers because they can not trust to foreign sources. - People working in the castles for aristocratcy was higher sort of the society. They was not rich but they has good wealth and sources of everything above standard. If the ruler was sane working in the castle was always desireable job.

Also in no art did they depect their floors as covered in loose hay. What DID they depict? Mats. this video makes the medieval era out to be way worse than it actually was.

You're right about some things, such as castles not being too cold as they had fires...and there would've been some decor, depending on their status and wealth. But I have to disagree with you on a couple of things. It's hard to imagine how different we were back then, remember it wasn't that long ago we enjoyed a good hanging! But the accepted way of life really was astounding. Bathing was not frequent, even the wealthy would often only bath once month. Poor, maybe 4 times a year. Some people even shat in the corridors of the castles. Everyone, everything, everywhere stank, they were used to it. Our hygiene standards now are a very new concept and we'd been used to living in filth for thousands of years! Almost everyone DID drink beer instead of water, including young children.. but not as we know it, only about 1% alcohol. It was safer than the water, even from wells, which could have rats and shit in them. P. S. It is said that Queen Elizabeth 1st only bathed once a year!! 🤢🤮

@84n70 Also they fail to mention that the beer/mead back then had a much lower alcohol content than the beer of today. They weren't slamming 5%'ers all day.

Right, so I couldn’t get through the entire video without driving myself up a wall with how much misinformation is presented. Many of the points made here are either entirely facecious, leave out important details, or contradict themselves. Firstly, castles and their lavatories were often situated in areas where it would drop from the battlements or even outside the keep if entirely possible. Even if they only had to make due with large pits that had no real way of being emptied, they would have access to things to cover up the hole in the lavatory to block the smell off or even some mediocre ventilation. These smells would likely be localized away from high traffic areas and not considered a major problem. Secondly, baths were not rare. In fact the danish often washed themselves as much as, if not more often than the average person today. For people to live somewhere, there needs to be a source of water, be a well, a river, a pond, or even a stream. If you didn’t have the facilities or time to lug cold water to a bathtub you would jump in downstream and wash yourself off that way. It wasn’t all that difficult to clean yourself. Yes, soap was a little harder to come by, at least on smaller towns, but it wasn’t kept only for the rich. Also, hot or warm baths aren’t all that difficult to get. You’d fill a bath most of the way with water, fill a few porcelain containers or a cauldron if you had one and head that over a low fire. When the water was nice and hot you’d just mix the two together to get at least a lukewarm bath. Thirdly, everyone was not constantly hammered or drunk. You were correct in saying that alcohol was a very safe bet in terms of being a safe source of potable water. But back then most of these drinks did not focus on making the consumer drunk as they do today. They would typically have a very low alcohol content if they were things such as beer and wine, with wine being the higher of the two. Also water was indeed unsafe, but it’s not like they didn’t know how to make it safe to drink. Straining water through multiple bundles of cloth and then boiling it in a pot was a known way to purify water and when the average peasant or servant could not afford to buy a beer they could resort to water. How do you think they survived when the settlement was being set up? They couldn’t buy beer for every single villager or servant and have it shipped to them, and they didn’t have their own brewery to make the beer. Fourthly, in most instances castles did not have 100 people living in them. Not only did you contradict this point later in your video saying they were built as fortresses first and homes second, but castles were usually far too small to actively house 100 members. A typical lords castle would house the family, a small retinue that is kept raised at all times, and servants who may have a small home to live in inside the castle walls, but that was it. There simply is not enough room to house that many people. Most servants would live on the surrounding village and come in to the castle to work during the day with a very small number of on-site staff. If I were to give an actual estimate on the number of people who would actively live in the castle itself, it would number between twenty and fourty including the family, guard, and a small number of servants such as the cook, steward, and personal servants to the lord and his family. In larger castles belonging to much more powerful individuals such as viscounts there may be an upwards of 100 soldiers garrisoned in separate barracks build inside or adjacent to the castle, but not the keep itself. Fifthly, and this is going to be the last one because otherwise I’ll be here all day, they did have ways of dealing with rats. This is where rat catchers and exterminators began to make their living and place in society, it was actually during the plague that ratcatchers became incredibly important. It was a job where you went around with a big stick and played a game of whack a mole using rodents, I imagine it could’ve been quite fun before the plague hit for the average man. They would be paid by the rat they caught, permanently removing infestations WAS difficult but it’s not like they didn’t have any form of pest control.

I live in the North of England and as such I have had the amazing opportunity to see so many castles, the ones that are still in good condition, you can still see the paint work on the walls, and the decorations hanging. Even some of the better pieces of furniture have remained in tact. A lot of them up here even have roman bath houses in the vicinity. And yes Europeans bathed, even if they didn't have access to a hot bath etc... people from all walks of life would bath in rivers and streams daily. This misconception that medieval Europeans were all scruffy living in dingy conditions just isn't true, and this person quite obviously did absolutely no research apart from look at pop culture and myths.

A lot of myths and misconceptions here.

Overall, how accurate is the historical information presented by the videos of this channel? I believe that references should be included in the video description of all Weird History videos, and/or in the videos themselves. In addition, I believe that they should include dates, particular locations, and examples more. For example, in this video, it would be great if it included when and where in the Medieval Period various practices arose and typically took place (particular countries). After all, Europe was diverse and a huge part of the world, and the European Middle Ages lasted 1000 years. In summary, I want this channel to share their references (far more than what I've seen, if at all), and be more specific, particularly with regards to Europe in the Middle Ages. P.S. I subscribed to Weird History due to my general interest in history, and the simple and entertaining (at times hilarious) presentation of these videos. However, once I started to question the accuracy of the historical information presented by this channel -- as well as the impact it would have on my perception of history -- the lack of specificity and extreme lack of references bothered me greatly. As a result, I unsubscribed from this channel.

Unlike the Europeans the Chinese Emperor would have a very large harem of wives and concubines and often would have sex with a different woman every night. The Emperor Chin (Qin Shi Huang) after whom China is named, had all of his wives murdered and placed into his famous tomb upon his own death from mercury poisoning, as he had sought out an elixir that would grant him eternal life, but instead it killed him. His wives were required to die at the same time as he did in order to accompany him into the after life.

Not necessarily. A lot of the stuff here just really isn't right or isn't explained in full. I'd recommend doing a little bit of your own research because these guys just play into the popular opinion that movies gave to everyone that it was all dirty, smelly, disease ridden, and horrible back then. Of course it's not nearly as good as it is today, but it's not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. The Dark Ages, which was the beginning of the Middle Ages WAS actually quite terrible as a bunch of people suddenly were left out to dry when the western roman empire collapsed, but when they went into the Mid Middle and High Middle ages things did improve significantly. When the plague came through the biggest reason why people died is because most doctors back then didn't really know what they were doing. Sure it was better than NOT having a doctor, but they had no idea what bacterium or viruses were. They considered bloodletting to be a common cure-all for illnesses which only rarely relieved symptoms. That and having towns where you built up instead of out caused some problems with overcrowding.

They pest control. Cats. You even showed one the moment you claimed they had no modern pest control. Cats were modern pest control then and still is in some regions.

This video is erroneous on so many levels. Yes, castles were damp, cold, and drafty. But MANY castles had their toilets built over running water, effectively flushing away the effluence. Virtually NO castles had torture chambers, and every picture you presented was actually of the Spanish Inquisition, NOT individual rulers torturing their victims. Those rushes on the floor were changed a hell of a lot more frequently than, say, your carpet today is, and since eating was confined to dining halls, food was not indiscriminately strewn about, cats and dogs would do their business outside, and general fastidiousness prevailed. People drank WATERED wine and "small" beer--both containing only enough alcohol to effectively sterilize the water with which they were diluted. I could go on...and on...and on...

So you basically did your business, and it fell down into the stream and was swept away by the running water. She actually, in a way, had an automatic flushing toilet.

Nobles often drank from prestigious lead cups resulting in an early death. In modern times lead was found in their bones. The Medieval times have been romanticized by fairy tales, romance novels and Hollywood, but they were times of oppression and hardship. When tea was introduced from China it was considered a healthy medicinal drink. Little did they know that it was because the water was boiled. I lived in Europe and went many of Castles and I find this all very interesting. Well explained, great video.

Been to see many castles around the UK and this video is not accurate. The internal walls were covered in lime plaster with decorations, they went to great lengths to keep everything clean and orderly.

Those are palaces, not castles - as it was stated in the video, castles were built to be fortresses. And you can try to keep things clean, but rats and living in a literal cess pit isn't going to change with a bit of sweeping

I suggest watching something else, because this video got a ton of things wrong. Over-over-generalizations, ignorance of the facts, extremely poorly researched points, and more. There are some reaction videos to this, which correct some of the mistakes here, so I doubly suggest you watch those.

So that is the life in a castle. Thanks for the info.

There are places in the world right now include the USA where people live in even worse conditions. I've seen people living in straw huts old campers missing walls with black mold infestation and no power or running water. Abandoned houses. Tents. Right here in Southeast Texas. In California there is skid row they live like shit as well

It sucks that the Roman technology for indoor plumbing was lost to time for so long. Imagine here we’d be if none technology were ever lost?

this channel has made me really understand that indoor plumbing is the greatest human invention

In Middle Ages, I would prefer to be a Muslim, Hindu or Chinese member of the rulling class, those nobilities were the ones that really thrived.

This video speaks for itself. Might I add all the torturing, killing and burning at the stake; during this period, during the Spanish Inquisition, and through out Europes history. I agree with you.

Kevin Lefort because he’s a real historian and enthusiast of that particular era and not a Faceless KZreadr that apparently doesn’t understand that the “medieval era” was 1000 years of history with a ton of examples that disprove this video

Life back then was rough and short! The average lifespan was around 50.

Times were different back then all around the world. Conquering armies such as the The Huns, Mongolian Hoards & the Ottoman Empire were slaughtering groups of peoples to include Europeans up until approximately 1500 A.D. People who fought and were loyal to the conquering European class received lands to manage. Much like the more successful entrepreneurs of our time, these people had the jobs. They needed guards, soldiers, cooks & chambermaids for the castles, & husbandmen to till the land as they slowly regained the upper hand from other oppressors. These were prestigious positions of the times. Much like working for Corporations, Millionaires, Politicians or Hollywood elites is today. There were also tradesmen in the small communities and they still exist as small businesses today. These civilizations grew & improved under the peace brought in by Christianity that swept up from Rome & the Middle East until now here sits Western Civilization. There will always be good & bad employers/managers, governments, & citizens. The worst are always the godless.

9:33: "The Middle Ages were tough.. Even the best case scenario of living in a castle, was pretty much a miserable experience." While this is certainly true by today's 21st century standard, it is important to note here that when we discuss history, it is always important to view the living conditions through the eyes of a person who lived in that age and culture. The Royalty, nobility and wealthy people of the European Middle Ages, WOULD have considered themselves lucky and/or maybe blessed by God to live in the top tiers of society, compared to the short, rough and hard lives of ordinary people. But yes, even a European King's life would seem less than desireable to Modern people, who is to tell if a documentary explaining the 21st century will not draw many of the same conclusions about the current upper class? Wealthy for the time but just deceased, filthy and uncomfortable compared to the people of the Future. Every society through history ever has lived in the most "modern" and often, if not always truly, it has - to them - seemed the peak of civilization and enlightenment.

Ordinairy people were very well off too. They were richer and had more rights than we do. At least their right to their property, and ability to carry weapons was respected, unlike today. The average peasant owned more land than we do, and was probably relatively richer than we are, and happier. Lead more healthy lives too.
