Life in a Medieval Castle: Cold, Smoke, Labor, and Survival

Life in a Medieval Castle wasn’t a fairy-tale palace—it was a stone machine built to survive a siege, and you were living inside it. Cold was the default, smoke was everywhere, and every “comfort” you imagine had a cost in labor, fuel, and risk. In this video, we walk through the real daily life of a medieval castle—what it felt like to wake up in damp stone rooms, work in a courtyard that never stops, and depend on invisible systems that movies ignore: water hauling, stable crews, blacksmiths, carpenters, kitchens, and constant repair. You’ll learn: Why castles stayed cold even with thick walls How service labor kept the fortress running (especially water carriers) Why kitchens were heat zones—and why fire was a constant threat How the great hall worked (status, politics, insulation with tapestries) The reality of light, smoke, and hygiene, including the garderobe Why castles were designed for paranoia: stairs, arrow slits, murder holes The most important truth: castles didn’t run on walls—they ran on food supply Next episode: what did people actually eat to keep this machine alive?
