What Knights Really Did All Day (Boring History for Bedtime)

Tonight on Boring History for Bedtime—the podcast that swaps battle cries for bedtime yawns—we trot gently through the martial world of 13th-century knighthood. With a voice as flat as a well-worn shield, we’ll explore the tools, rituals, and quiet dignity of becoming a knight in feudal Europe.

This isn’t a story of clashing swords and glory. It’s a slow-motion parade of chainmail maintenance, squire chores, and horses with names like Beaumains. From peasant pikes to noble lances, each weapon is described in excruciatingly calm detail—designed to help you fall asleep before the dubbing ceremony even begins.

Perfect for insomniacs, medieval nerds, and anyone who prefers their history whispered in soft, uneventful tones.

Settle in. Unclench. Let soothing storytelling carry you to dreamland—no battles, no drama, just slow facts about armor and honor.
