Living Without Heat: How People Survived Medieval Winter

Описание: Living Without Heat: How People Survived Medieval Winter

Winter in the Middle Ages was not just uncomfortable — it was a test of survival.

Without central heating, electricity, or insulated windows, medieval people faced freezing temperatures inside stone castles, monasteries, and peasant homes. Thick walls trapped cold, smoke filled the air, and darkness ruled the night.

In this historical documentary, we explore how people truly survived medieval winter:
– How castles trapped cold instead of warmth
– Why fire was dangerous but unavoidable
– The role of stone, smoke, and poor ventilation
– The psychological toll of darkness and freezing nights
– How dawn marked survival, not comfort

This is not a romantic story of knights and feasts.
This is the reality of living without heat in the Middle Ages.
