    Winter is coming! Medieval Winter in Europe: From Freezing Castles to Cozy Feasts

    #medieval #winter #history In this fascinating episode, Hendrik and Carmen show you how people in the Middle Ages not only survived winter but actually enjoyed it! From the Medieval Climate Optimum with wine cultivation in England to the icy 1430s – the history of winter is full of surprises. You'll learn how clever the layering principle was in medieval clothing, why fur didn't only mean luxury, and how revolutionary the tile stove was for heating. From ingenious food preservation with sauerkraut and cured meat to the elaborate firewood logistics to winter amusements like ice skating on bone runners – the Middle Ages were much cozier than you'd think! People developed ingenious strategies: wood-paneled chambers as warm retreats, warming stones for the bed, and even a putting-out system for winter work. Despite all the hardships, wonderful traditions emerged – from Christmas celebrations to Shrovetide that still shape our culture today. We'd love to hear your comments! 😍 #tilestove #medievalclothing #winterhistory #livinghistory #reenactment #medievallife #foodpreservation Battle-Merchant: https://www.battlemerchant.com/ Battle-Merchant Blog: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/ Blog post for this episode: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/winter-challenges-and-pleasures-in-medieval-europe TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battlemerchant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battlemerchant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battlemerchant Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.de/battlemerchant/

    #medieval #christmas #history In this episode, Hendrik and Carmen take you on a fascinating journey through time: How did the pagan Yule festival become our Christian Christmas? Discover the surprising roots of our favorite traditions! From the Germanic midwinter festival through Roman Saturnalia to the Church's clever Christianization – this story is full of unexpected twists. Why do we celebrate on December 25th? Where do the Christmas tree, Advent wreath, and the Rough Nights come from? And what do ten thousand eels have to do with King John's Christmas feast? Learn how Martin Luther invented the Christ Child, why candles and evergreen branches were so important, and how people in the Middle Ages – from king to shepherd – celebrated this special festival. A story about light in the darkness, hope in winter, and the remarkable continuity of human traditions. Enjoy listening, and Merry Christmas! 🎄 #yule #wintersolstice #saturnalia #christchild #adventwreath #roughnights #medievalhistory Battle-Merchant: https://www.battlemerchant.com/ Battle-Merchant Blog: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/ Blog post for this episode: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/christmas-in-the-middle-ages-or-how-the-midwinter-festival-became-a-christian-festival TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battlemerchant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battlemerchant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battlemerchant Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.de/battlemerchant/

  • The Hidden Power of Ancient Women: From Spartan Warriors to Roman Business Queens

    The Hidden Power of Ancient Women: From Spartan Warriors to Roman Business Queens
    2025/12/17
    #antiquity #womenshistory #history In this episode, Carmen and Hendrik show you just how diverse the lives of ancient women really were! Between myth and reality, we discover three completely different worlds: strict Athens, freer Sparta, and evolving Rome. From the confined Athenian housewife to training Spartan warrior women to Roman businesswomen - the differences are astonishing. New archaeological discoveries from Pompeii reveal merchants like Dicidia Margaris and the baker Asellina, who even endorsed political candidates. Priestesses like the powerful Vestal Virgins or the Pythia of Delphi wielded real political influence. Research from recent decades has broken down old stereotypes and reveals: there was no single "ancient woman" - but countless different lived experiences depending on culture, region, and social class. We'd love to hear your comments! 😍 #romanhistory #sparta #athens #archaeology #womensrights #pompeii #vestalvirgins Battle-Merchant: https://www.battlemerchant.com/ Battle-Merchant Blog: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/ Blog post for this episode: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/women-s-roles-in-antiquity-myth-and-reality TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battlemerchant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battlemerchant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battlemerchant Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.de/battlemerchant/
