Good video...well done. Medieval fuedal farming was very backwards and localized. Bad weather events in gowning seasons like heat waves, drought, cold, hailstorms, hard rain as well as pests and blights etc. would often cause food shortages, famine and hardship. The high renaissance and the industrial revolution brought about scientific mechanized farming methods as well as food transport. Food could be brought in from more prosperous regions in bad years. In today's world the Middle ages are often glorified, romanticized, and idealized. Absolutely nothing could be farther from the truth. They were times of severe hardship and oppression.

It's a common fallacy, centred around "average life span". With such a high number of infants not making it even beyond 5 years old it is skewed way too low. Average is not always the best way to measure something. As you say, anyone surviving until around 20 could reasonably expect a 50-60 year life span, not unreasonable, if slightly low, even by today's standards. Tiresome that this continues to crop up when it is so easy to debunk.

It really depends on a lot of factors though, but in particular when in the Middle Ages, and how wealthy the Lord was. Castles could vary from little more than a single motte and bailey barely furnished, to something very close to a fairytale castle. One thing regardless of period that would be hard for us modern people would be sleeping. In most cases, you'd be expected to share a bed, usually with multiple people. Even a Lord might sleep in his big bed with his Lady, all his kids, and their closest Knights and retainers all in the same chamber. Yes, even while doing THAT activity!

Another reason they drank beer was because a lot of water was not clean enough to drink. Purple was reserved for royalty because it took hundreds of sea snails, to harvest the dye, it was labour intensive work and they only came from the city of Tyre, in modern day Lebanon. That is why, it was called 'Tyrian or Royal Purple'. Purple was associated with nobility & higher up clergy too. The background music is headache inducing. Even when turned down it is very painful to hear. Your voice is better on its 'own. From Ireland, the 15th of April 2022. 🇮🇪❤️

Here’s a surprise: vanilla was known in the medieval days. Also in ancient Egyptian and Roman times! It grew in tropical India and tropical, interior Africa. There were vanilla flavored wines. Thanks for saying that beers of yesteryear were lower in alcoholic content. They varied between two and five percent. Wines also had lesser alcoholic content. You left out weak ale/beer. This had zero or next to it percentage alcohol. Ale had no hops, the staple of Britain and Europe. Until hops were added later for a longer “shelf life”. Hops were usually roasted and used in portages and stews. During the hot summer months when the crops were gathered, one couldn’t drink beer with alcohol, lest they collapse and sometimes die. So, all you can drink weak ale/small beer was had. This was also known as “table” ale or beer. Another thing: beer back then had tetracycline in it, introduced by all those free yeasts in the air. So, it was pretty good for you. Beer/ale did not have to be “soupy”. It could be strained through cheesecloth or linen to produce a finer, lighter brew. There was purple dye, not of murex origin. Various shades of purple, too. True murex purple stank like fish. The smell couldn’t be removed. (So, there’s an example of suffering for fashion.) Without the sulphur that’s added today (hence the astringent taste and finish), wine then was sweet. Average life expectancy included a 60% death rate for children. Cheers!
