Episode Details

💰👑 Everyone dreams of being rich in medieval times—castles, feasts, golden goblets... but reality check: it was awful. Your fancy silver plates leaked poison, your outfits weighed more than a small child, and your “toilet” was a hole that emptied straight into the moat. Romantic, right?

Baths were optional (and by optional, we mean once per royal scandal), food came with a free side of dysentery, and servants saw everything—because privacy hadn’t been invented yet.

So get comfy, and drift off to the glorious misery of medieval luxury: gout, moldy castles, and the sweet sound of regret echoing through your banquet hall.
