Jason Kingsley CBE, the Modern Knight, explores the real world of the Middle Ages perfect for fantasy fans, writers, gamers, and creators who want to understand the history behind the swords and castles. We aim to research and test out what it was like for both ordinary people, peasants and townspeople, as well as the nobility like knights and lords. Jason owns and trains his own warhorses, jousts competitively, fights in medieval armour and tests theories practically and sometimes to destruction. Mostly about the historical medieval in England, we occasionally venture into other aspects of history and occasionally fantasy like Lord of the Rings or Dungeons and Dragons. We are a historically researched factual channel useful to writers and gamers as well and people interested in historical documentaries. The aim is to provide accurate, engaging, and evergreen history content for students, teachers, writers, role-players, and anyone curious about how medieval life really worked.

Video Description
We walk through a full day in the life of an ordinary English peasant during the Middle Ages. Based entirely on real historical records, not fantasy tropes and a bit of speculation. From sunrise in the fields to meals, family life, work, and rest, discover how tough, busy, and surprisingly organised their days really were. You'll learn: What time peasants woke up (and why it wasn’t always dawn), What they actually ate (hint: not just bread and gruel). The jobs men, women, and children did. Whether you're into medieval history, building immersive fantasy worlds, or just curious about how different life used to be, this video offers a grounded, eye-opening look at the real medieval experience.
