Modern History TV

Jason Kingsley CBE, the Modern Knight, investigates the medieval world. We aim to research and test out what it was actually like for both ordinary people, Peasants and Townspeople, as well as the nobility like Knights and Lords. Jason owns and trains his own warhorses, Jousts competitively, fights in medieval armour and tests theories practically and sometimes to destruction. Mostly about the historical medieval in England, we occasionally venture into other aspects of history and occasionally fantasy like Lord of the Rings or Dungeons and Dragons. We are a historically researched factual channel useful to writers and gamers as well and people interested in historical documentaries.

    Context: I love this channel, i find it super informative and incredibly interesting. Observation: If the birds were super content and happy to just stay there, why require the leash? I'm sure they're well fed and enjoy their time being there, but also as they said, they're wild animals; it's a little uncomfortable that this still exists.

    Hot sheep's feet still exists. They're called "Sheep's trotters" now. I'd try it. It's just mutton, only difference is it's on the bone. If you imagine people are walking around with things to do meat on the bone would be convenient. You could hold it and eat while walking. Might look strange or gross to us today but to a common person from the middle ages one of us eating a drumstick would look just as strange and gross since that's an animal they wouldn't normally eat either. Taste-wise though I bet it wasn't half bad.

    Serfs could not leave their Lord and go and work for someone else. This was underlined after the Plague, when for a time serfs were able to sell themselves to the highest bidder. The Lords couldn't have that and knocked that on the head. So, whichever way you want to hold your tongue, they were slaves.

    I can answer the question of how someone would know which pie was theirs at a bake shop. Apparently every family had a distinctive design that would be pricked into the top crust. I learned this from a friend who uses her family’s design on pies to this very day. It’s been handed down from mother/aunt to daughter since at least Victorian times.

    How much did the nobles eat at cookshops or visit taverns? Ancient Roman writers speak of visiting such places as tolerable in a high born man's younger wild years, but not something he should be doing when he gets older. Henry IV of course has a fictional future Henry V as a prodigal son who specifically visits taverns.

    When Elsinore the (Chaotic evil) Chaos Knight enters the tavern, he always casts teleport to the null/nightmare/hell equivalent realm on a coin purse and throws it somewhere someone is aure to see it and grab it. Then, the fun/feast begins.

    There was more to serfdom. You could for example annul a contract and and bring in new surfs, you could even have them killed in certain situations however it was not merely the law that made this hard it was the fact that they basically knew everything about the property they were administering and how to make money out of it. A new owner in fact need not take the surfs in some countries and could even replace them with slaves but they would often not do this because slave could not replace serf workers. They would find local men or women with nothing to their name in case of broken lineages to marry into serfdom and keep the household going. They had sometimes generations and it was a pseudo form of ownership on the land

    maille would be much easier to reuse as it can work with most shapes and sizes of body (within reason). Plate is hard to reuse unless you're a similar size. Parts might work
