Inside the Life of a Medieval Peasant Family in England | History for Sleep

Medieval peasant life in England, told as one calm, continuous day and night inside a village cottage in the early 1300s. This History for Sleep narration follows a single peasant family from before dawn to deep night: ploughing the open fields, brewing ale, spinning wool, sharing pottage, singing carols and settling down around the hearth. Perfect for sleep, relaxation and quiet learning. In this 14th century England sleep story you will discover how a medieval village really worked: the open-field system, the ale-taster, rent paid in hens and eggs, shared plough teams, rushlight evenings, medieval food, beds, feast days and the old habit of waking in the middle of the night between two sleeps. The village and family are an invented composite, built from real historical evidence about English peasant households. Lie back, turn the screen away and let the past carry you to sleep.
