Medieval Clothing: How Peasants, Knights, and Kings Really Dressed
How did people really dress in the Middle Ages?
Forget everything you see in movies. Peasants wore rough, itchy clothes, knights wore less-than-perfect "shining armor," and kings... even their luxurious fabrics hid dirt, lice, and sweat.
In this video, we'll explore:
— what the poor's clothes were made of and why they were boiled in ashes;
— how much real knight's armor weighed;
— why royal attire was dangerous to health;
— and what historians have found on surviving fabrics.
Medieval fashion without the glitz—the truth that will surprise you.
