I’ve have taken an interest in the Middle Ages recently, and how life was lived back then. Such as everyone (Including kids) having to work with no education, I wonder what the children of that era had to do with their spare time, what was considered fun etc.
It’s not like today where you can go out for a drink at night, or have a meal. Remember there were no lights back then and your only source of light was were lamps plus you need to consider the lamp’s remaining oil. It was useless going out at night and you wouldn’t get very far.
The food and provisions they had were often vegetables and there were fines for hunting animals for their meat. Spices from the market were expensive and they were imported, so not many people could afford to buy them, only people with high status could really get their hands on them.
When I think about life back then, it was like living like wild animals. Just imagine how harsh winter must’ve been back then……..
I also wonder how someone from the 21st Century would interact with someone from that time period? Often people I ask say they wouldn’t, if it were me well I don’t know what I can say to them. You obviously wouldn’t be able to maintain a decent conversation about games, music, film and the usual stuff or even politics. Well maybe a little, but that’s how far you could go.
If I was to bring back a medieval teen to this year, I’d have my work cut out for me trying to explain everything little thing in great detail. Heck, he/she may not want to ever go back. I wouldn’t either. Lol it seems everytime I talk about something like the past/medieval period I always talk about sci-fi and time travel. But that should be understanable seeing as I played and clocked Castlevania LOS (the epilogue was amazing).
