Eleanor Janega on the Real Lives of Medieval Peasants
What was life actually like for the 80% of people who worked the land in medieval England? 🌾 In this episode, Dr Eleanor Janega travels to Denny Abbey to peel back the layers of medieval society and discover the world of the peasantry. Forget the modern insults; in the Middle Ages, "peasant" meant "farmer," and their labor sustained the entire kingdom; from the grandest cathedrals to the King’s table.
