đ°đ Everyone dreams of being rich in medieval timesâcastles, feasts, golden goblets... but reality check: it was awful. Your fancy silver plates leaked poison, your outfits weighed more than a small child, and your âtoiletâ was a hole that emptied straight into the moat. Romantic, right?
Baths were optional (and by optional, we mean once per royal scandal), food came with a free side of dysentery, and servants saw everythingâbecause privacy hadnât been invented yet.
So get comfy, and drift off to the glorious misery of medieval luxury: gout, moldy castles, and the sweet sound of regret echoing through your banquet hall.
đ Boring History For Sleep | Where even the rich couldnât afford comfortâor soap.
