How to SURVIVE the MIDDLE AGES | Podcast Ep 8

Author: Luke Daly September 10, 2022 Duration: 21:57

In this episode of the podcast, we are looking at the lives of Medieval women and men, but within that, we are looking at the opportunities and prospects of peasants, merchants, Ecclesiastes, and kings; understanding what it meant to be a woman in the Medieval Era, and exploring what it meant to be a second son or third son to a noble in a bid to understand whether social mobility in this period was fluid, or strict.

Luke Daly’s eager passion for all things medieval is the driving force behind The Daly Medieval Podcast. Each week, Luke brings his perspective as a historian to a mix of formats, creating a space that feels more like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend than a formal lecture. You’ll find deep dives into Medieval History, exploring the events, figures, and daily life of the period with genuine curiosity. But this podcast also branches into more visceral territory with videos focused on Buhurt, the full-contact medieval combat sport, offering a raw look at how historical warfare translates into modern physical practice. Woven throughout are personal updates on Luke’s own journey in the field, connecting academic pursuit with lived experience. It’s a multifaceted approach for anyone who finds the medieval world endlessly fascinating, whether your interest lies in scholarly analysis or the thunder of clashing steel. The result is a consistently engaging podcast that builds a community around a shared fascination for a complex era.
