Why You Wouldn't Survive In Medieval time

Life during the Medieval times was rough, and having a happy fulfilling life was only for the rich and nobles. If you were a farmer you would do back breaking work, only to see the king tax your crops and leave you with scraps to feed your family. We are telling you, you wouldn't be able to handle it.

The way most of these vids describe medieval times, it makes it seem like a miracle anyone survived and those that did lived purely on luck. I'm sure life wasnt any worse then it is today, because no one would know any other way and by comparison to their past, life would actually be better.

[@shadowandreality]

@@DoomFinger511 I do understand what you say, but in that way we can never compare anything. Hygiene is a crucial difference. That was not something they took very seriously. Jews did tho. That is also a reason why people hated them. They had less desease. Also it is easy to understand that it was much more hard work to survive than nowadays.

[@thefarter6462]

no, they hated jews because they were more wealthy and kept a lot of their riches safely instead of spending.

[@devlinmorin7615]

Anti-semitism rised and lowered depending on the region and date. But Jews were officially protected by the Church who put a lot of resources into combatting anti-jewish thought, for various mainly economical reasons. And as a result the overall opinion of jews during the middle ages was large periods of indifference seperated by short periods of intense persecution.

[@jaraweiat]

There were A LOT of rules and laws NOT to carry a sword in town. Knives were carried sure but it's not that different from current days. Also swords were really expensive, only rich folk had swords in the early/mid medieval times. Armies had to often be disbanded for the harvest and planting seasons for food production and sometimes for winter too to conserve the food. Peasants were usually supposed to bring their own equipment when drafted. Arming an army was expensive and would the lords want to do that when they could save the money to build a stone castle.

This appears to be more realistic than I thought, still there's one major flaw: Your immune system isn't adapted to a rough world and life like that at all. You may be vaccinated against many diseases that rumble across the lands, but there might also be some that got extinct in the modern world, to them you'd be extremely vulnerable. Also, if you weren't hitting the gym three times a week or having a very physically hard job, you wouldn't be fit enough for efficiently doing many of the tasks presented in this example.

I would love to see a film about a time traveller who has to become a medieval peasant. After a few years getting used to it and maybe finding a wife, he is drafted into the army. For his heroism in a battle or two, he gets knighted and maybe saves the king's life so he gives him a keep or a holdfast. Over time he keeps on winning battles and is a general on the same level of Napoleon in terms of tactical genius. Eventually, calls grow for him to claim the crown as king as the most popular lord in the land and a powerful army loyal to him. Kind of like Gladiator but maximus takes the deal to become emperor.

Being over 6ft I could probably get a job as the bodyguard of some noble. Many men were valued based off their physical stature and ability. Also I know more about farming than they would. I'm not accepting that I'm born in that time as another regular person. I'm thinking I go back in time with all my knowledge intact. With the ability to understand and speak to people of the time. I have greater combat skills than many medieval peoples. I've analyzed many battles from great wars, I could become a general. I could implement tactics that could inevitably change history. Imagine thwarting the great heathen army. There's potential to even rule the land. I would absolutely survive. Confidence is key.

Your missing mustache was probably made of gold in the medieval times the peasant was probably blessed if he found it.

[@tonyoliver2167]

Almost all of the time in England in particular, villages weren't laid out randomly. You only have to look at deserted medieval villages such as Wharram Percy, Gainsthorpe, Little Oxenden, Priors Marston etc. to see that there was a linear pattern with streets, hollow ways and garden systems. You would have been no more than ten feet from your neighbour most of the time if you were both in your houses. Also on the subject of "everyone" carrying swords or at least knives - not everyone would carry a sword and there were strict laws that prohibited you from carrying them into a city boundary.

[@skwills1629]

Thank you.

Basic human compassion/pity has always still existed sub consciously.
