What was daily life like for a king or queen during the Middle Ages? Contrary to what you might imagine, it didn't involve lounging in robes of silk and satin and indulging in lots of feasting. In reality, the life of medieval royals involved a lot of incest, sickness, and cold castles. You'll probably feel better about your own situation after learning what life for royalty in medieval times was like. Women were married off to very close relatives for diplomatic purposes; on many occasions, they were only in their early teens at the time. Sadly, the death rates for mothers and children were quite high, and the general lack of hygiene most definitely didn't help.

I do know that the poorest person in the USA is living better fiscally, has better health and is living longer than ANY King prior to the current King Charles.
Oh, the current music choices are so much better than what they had in Medieval Times!

If you ever feel unlucky, just remember that King Edmund II Ironside of England was assassinated in 1016 when a viking climbed out of the toilet and stabbed him while he was taking a shite.

4: 57 - The definition of being literate in the medieval world was being someone who could read _Latin. _ Most people who were exposed to writing could read well enough in their own language.

I guess I grew up in medieval times. We had an outside toilet and still used chamber pots during the winter or when it was rainy.

I think about this a lot. Whenever someone tells me they wish they lived in the past, I always say two words: toilet. paper.

It s crazy but many middle class people have even more money to spare than the nobles of the past did. Things really changed.
