Architecture is easy. Plumbing is hard. Seriously, services like clean water and sanitation require sources of constant power to move water uphill from rivers and lakes into homes and cities. That really didn’t exist until steam power in the 19th century, and electricity in the 20th.
Curfews were began to reduce the risks of fire in cities, not provide security from crime. The word comes from the French couvre-feu, or “cover fire”. At curfew, all were required to cover their fires, by banking or other methods, to prevent sparks escaping and starting fires. Most European cities were built largely of wood and fires could destroy many stone buildings, too, as there was plenty of wood and other flammables in their construction, including inner walls or paneling, floors, ceilings and roofs, as well as their contents, of course.
Though having listened to this properly now, he didn't say that this is where the notion of a curfew originated, just that curfews were sometimes used for this purpose. Which I guess is no less true than saying that more recently, curfews were implemented to prevent the spread of covid in some places, etc. So I guess you're both right!

Medicine went from sorcery and alchemy to science in the late 180’0s- not during the Middle Ages though. The miasma theory, blood letting, belief in humoral balance, etc. didn’t go away until well into the time of Queen Victoria. It was actually during the last of the major cholera outbreaks that someone put the link between dirty water and the disease together- thus beginning a more modern understanding of disease. Bacteria was discovered in the 1880’s, and the move towards modern medicine began.
It wasn't really considered 'sorcery' though. Alchemists were Christian's and while a lot of their theories were related to the law of nature, the belief was that nature was created by a Christian god. Sunflowers, for example, were called such because the flowers were orange-like the sun and followed the sun across the sky. They didn't understand photosynthesis at the time, but saw the relationship between flower and solar energy. Alchemists were trying to understand the myseries of the divine (God) which was, to their understanding, revealing itself in the natural world

They didn’t make and ship clothing, those lowland cities spun, often dyed, and wove and shipped bolts of cloth made from English wool. It was always locally made into clothing at its destination, in Europe, or farther (some wool was used for a few non-clothing applications, as well, like cushioning, but mostly local materials like straw were used, good, imported wool cloth was expensive). Pre-made clothing is a modern thing, not a medieval one.

That is interesting and admirable. I believe you! My grandfather, who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy when he was a boy, grew up in a poor NYC tenement in the 1920s. I remember he once told me a story about how a family of German immigrants washed the steps to their building with soap and water. The point of his story was that no matter how poor many immigrants were, they still had pride (the good kind). This is a contrast to what goes on in the American inner-city today.
you have sparked an interest in this era that i didn't know i had. I've always wandered though how did people keep track of who was who and how much money they had in the bank. Who could be trusted not to just steal your wealth? how did the entire country keep seemingly steady enough in the conditions and lack of tech they had with out collapse or god awful corruption?
LOL, what nonsense. Serfs by definition could NOT buy or sell the land they worked and lived on. The land belonged to the "noble" landowner, be it a church official or some other privileged, wealthy twat.
I'd imagine it was chaotic (at times), the place for business, also people walking about with various level of hygiene standards, and there was often a weird smell in the air. Much like today.
Don’t forget the animals and poop everywhere. Let’s be honest - people had no deodorant or our hygiene standard but they were surrounded by smelly things 24 hours a day so I can see how they got used to it. There’s no excuse now but extreme poverty and mental illness
I always hated history in school, never had any interest in the medevil era But thus channel I find really engaging and I never thought I would become so obsessed with it Thank you 😁
The thing that hits me about city life in the middle ages is the smell. I can smell it from here 600 years later. It must have been staggering. Human shit. Animal shit. Offal, smoke, body odor, halitosis, vomit, no sanitation, death and disease everywhere, the stench would make us sick immediately. It makes me gag to think about. Whenever I watch a documentary or a period piece, or read a historical novel, that is what I think about. The smell. It's one thing that cannot be reproduced. For most of history, that is probably a good thing.
@@Vagabond_Etranger bestie, ALL BIG CITIES SMELL LIKE THAT, from paris to new york they all smell like that. and besides, why are you giving an opinion that was 26 years ago? cities change yk LOL, yes some metro stations stink, but its nothing different from any other major city in the world
the medieval really went through a sanitation renaissance with their body waste changes. Sounds like seeing people squatting in public was a normal occurrence up until then.
Cologne Cathedral was "completed" in 1880, not the 16. century. 😎 I'm from Cologne, and here we have a saying that, if the Cathedral (der Kölner Dom) is ever really completed, the world will end. And actually there is constantly work being done on it. Has been so since its so-called completion. :)
Medieval cities got a bad repuation in the history books. Of course, they were dirty but at least city populations were much smaller than in modern times. London, in 1858, had almost 3 million inhabitants and that was when the Big Stink occurred. As during the Middle Ages, the Thames was used as an open sewer but with this many people, it became such a crisis that it led to the construction of the first modern sewers.
@@shauncameron8390We don't know that. It's not just a matter of cramming as much people into tiny houses/apartments. You also require an efficient large scale logistics to keep everyone fed. The major cities like Rome and London would be able to do that, which is why they were so large. But by far most medieval cities were not larger than a big village today. Just look at the historical centers of old cities. In some cases you may still see and old city gate or remnants of a moat, sometimes they built a road in that place but you can tell because the buildings don't look nearly as old beyond that zone.
So if you're a serf, go to a city, sign your name, then sneak out of the city. The bailiff or steward then spends all their time in the city looking for you even though you're not there.
@@Novusod yes, I'm sure that's true but the narrator mentions that that's how some runaway serfs got caught... by signing their name when entering a city. I was basing my comment on that.
You didn’t mention that serfs were required to work fewer days to fulfill the landowners needs than modern people are to pay their taxes. The landowner was also required to feed his serfs and look out for their welfare. In many ways they were treated far better than many of us are.
Please someone help me. There was a book about a boy who was a serf and left his manor. He finds a man and they go to the city. That’s all I can remember. If someone knows please help me out
Overly England focused. Most important cities of the high Middle Ages were in northern Italy and Flanders. They were production cities. Paris was the largest and a major consumption city. English cities were of little consequence in the 11 and 12 hundreds.
That’s all you find when it’s on medieval topics, it’s like the only place that existed was England. I agree the French and Italians were far more advance than the British peasants
I really really love these lil documentaries about life in these times!!! So I have started to slowly buy n collect gold. I started at 1 gram about 3 months ago. Now have 8 grams gold and 1 ounce silver with two lil extra bars one 5gram one 10gram. So one and a half ounces of silver and only 8 grams gold. What would this be worth in these times please? Can I buy a loaf of bread or a house? Maybe a horse? It would be super cool to know please mate
Fun fact: in medieval times, there were no standards of measurement * AND * almost the entirety of the mason's guild was illiterate ... yet they managed to build large intricately detailed cathedrals, many of which are still standing today.
I'm curious how you concluded that because London, Ghent and Bruges were in a close trade relationship therefore they had similar populations? I don't quite see the connection between trade relationship and city population. Could you let me know what your pattern of thinking was for that?
Im gonna go out on a limb and say the 50s to the 2000s Was probably the best time to be alive. Sure our lives arnt as hard as these people. But it feels like we exited our golden age and are in the middle of a downward spiral thsts only getting worse.
I saw a documentary on "Modern History TV" about the urine and excrements. Urine was saved and collected to use in tanning leather among other things. Solid waste was also collected and disposed of in pits outside the city. There were special people who did this. The areas/streets where they performed their trade was often named after these kinds of refuse. It is said that there was also a "shit street". I urge you to watch that channel. Very informative and interesting. I think it's on Utube.
You are living in the most happy era . Thanks to scientist and advancement in medical sciences you are free of endemic diseases like polio , plague , cholera etc which wipped off huge population s . In general there is peace and not many wars that used to kill a lot of people . Again due to advancement in agriculture and irrigation there is sufficient food available and people are now not dying due to famines and starvation . This was the scenario in middle ages which you are now free off .
Wonder what people thought this place was before science and the knowledge we have today. Like knowing that we are on a planet in infinite slace etc… What would they have thought.
How people who were dumping their waste on the streets were also able to design and build those cathedrals is so bizarre ..
It really was bizarre. It is strange knowing what we know now and looking back in time.
It is pretty crazy that the skills to create such structures existed even though they lived with so much filtih.
Architecture is easy. Plumbing is hard. Seriously, services like clean water and sanitation require sources of constant power to move water uphill from rivers and lakes into homes and cities. That really didn’t exist until steam power in the 19th century, and electricity in the 20th.
Plumbers have saved more lives than doctors.
