Surviving a Freezing Night in the Middle Ages

The Middle Ages were brutal, and winter could be deadly. In this episode, we step straight into the icy heart of history—where warmth was a luxury, and survival meant endurance, ingenuity, and luck. From the way peasants layered coarse wool to how castles trapped heat, every detail mattered when temperatures dropped below freezing.

Discover how people kept themselves alive through relentless cold—how they slept, what they ate, and how they fought frostbite without modern comforts. You’ll see the Middle Ages not as a fairy tale, but as a harsh, bone-chilling reality.
