Medieval Charity, Sickness, and Death (Boring History for Bedtime)

Tonight’s episode of Boring History for Bedtime takes you deep into the muck of medieval life—not the chivalric myths, but the slow, gritty truth.

Over two drowsy hours, we’ll explore how poverty shaped society, why sickbeds often involved superstition and animal parts, and how death was more pageant than passage.

You’ll hear about leper colonies, miracle cures made of human fat, and funeral processions that doubled as job fairs.

Perfect for insomniacs, history nerds, or anyone who finds comfort in quietly horrifying facts.
