The Daily Life of Noblewomen in Medieval France (Boring History for Bedtime)

Tonight on Boring History for Bedtime—the bedtime history podcast made for insomniacs and curious night-owls—we quietly step into the lives of noblewomen in 13th-century Europe. Nestle into your pillow as our soft-spoken narration drifts through castle corridors, embroidery workshops, and dimly lit chapels, revealing the daily routines and quiet burdens of highborn medieval women.

You'll hear about young Alienor’s education in manners and Latin, Adela’s responsibility for the household, and the never-ending cycles of textile work, religious observance, and estate management. Every moment is delivered in a slow, monotone voice designed to turn real medieval history into a lullaby for your overactive brain.

Whether you’re a history lover, student, or just someone desperate for sleep, this episode offers zero drama and maximum calm.

Settle in. Unclench. Let soothing storytelling carry you to dreamland—no plot twists, no battles, just the humdrum life of women with too many tapestries to finish.
