Episode Details

Luke and Eleanor are back, continuing the series on the peasantry. This time, we get into the peasant mindset by seeing how they thought about themselves, what they did in their free time, and how many of them got more vacation time than we do today. Then we begin to discuss the growing friction with the nobility that caused the spate of peasants revolts in the 14th and 15th centuries, which we will get into next time on the show. check out the patreon if you're interested in hearing more: patreon.com/wnsdpod you can find the painting by Bruegel that Eleanor was talking about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Games_(Bruegel)
