💍 Medieval Brides: The Fear Behind the Veil

150-Minute Documentary | Power, Marriage & Survival in the Middle Ages

Forget the fairy tales and romanticized stories of the past — this 150-minute documentary uncovers the real experience of being a medieval bride.
Far from a day of joy, marriage often meant fear, uncertainty, and the loss of autonomy. We explore the political and economic stakes behind every union, the absence of consent, and the harsh laws that bound women’s lives to family alliances and property deals.

Drawing on chronicles, legal records, and letters, we reconstruct how medieval society viewed marriage — not as romance, but as duty and survival. This is the unvarnished truth of women whose lives were decided long before they walked down the aisle.
