About this listen

Step past the knights and banners—because castle life was mostly smoke, schedules, and a whole lot of work. In this episode of Medieval Morsels, we tour the castle as it really functioned: a home, a workplace, a courthouse, and a warehouse all wrapped in stone walls. From the great hall to the kitchens, chambers, stables, and even the less-glamorous necessities, we’ll meet the people who kept the place running and bust a few Hollywood myths along the way.

Castles weren’t just built for war—they were built for living, governing, and surviving. If this episode changed the way you picture medieval life, follow Medieval Morsels for more bite-sized history with a storytelling twist. And next time, we’ll dig even deeper into what made the Middle Ages feel real—messy, fascinating, and very human.
