#medievaltimes #villagelife #history In this episode, Hendrik and
Carmen show you the true heart of the Middle Ages: the village!
While we often think of castles and towns, over 90% of the
population lived in the countryside – between fields, churches,
and farmsteads. We explore the various village forms, from
cluster villages to street villages to the planned green villages
of the eastern colonization. Along the way, we examine the strict
social structure between yeoman farmers and landless cottagers,
the rhythm of the seasons, and the central role of the commons,
the church, and the mill. From hard fieldwork to communal harvest
festivals to the first trade relationships – the medieval village
was a complex community with its own rules and fascinating
traditions. Enjoy, and see you next time! #clustervillage
