Leben als mittelalterliche Prinzessin: Warum es ganz anders war, als du denkst

Silk gowns. Towers. Banquets. This is the image centuries of fairy tales have left us. But what was life really like for a medieval princess—behind the facade of gold and coats of arms? In this video, we delve into the real everyday lives of aristocratic women between the tenth and fifteenth centuries: from the daily rituals of dressing and eating to political betrothals in childhood, from the constant monitoring of their bodies to the structural isolation of a life without privacy. We talk about women like Blanche of Castile, Margaret of Austria, and Isabella of Valois—and what their stories truly reveal about power, duty, and survival.
