lol who said I wouldnt survive and why?
I’ve seen this before, but it’s worth watching again
💀💀💀
The codpiece needs to make a comeback
I'd thrive because I'm a 21st century peasant and would probably survive better then than now.

Pretending these people work harder than I have to LOL
Seen this, wonder why it's been reposted. It's a bit too long and painful to watch. Now, if it were acted out by a Monty Python like group it'd be much better.
This is the best way to learn history. Bring these to classrooms.
If I couldn't survive as a medieval peasant then why am I still here 500 years later huh? Seems like I survived my vassalage JUST fine.
Apart from the monarch and his useless entourage the rest had to be physically strong and not be useless pencil pushers(the clerks)!!! For this reason most and I mean most of us the weaklings couldn’t take it and die!!!
Ruth has a delightful personality. Good show.
Love these videos, love history
