Could You Make a Living in Medieval London?

I'm sorry but I cannot listen to your voice

Easier bk then for anyone to

I like it.

Yes im a hustler

I can no longer live there now…

I'm more of a Tudor girl. I am generally only interested in very late Medieval as a setup to the Tudors, and I specifically enjoy things about royalty and nobility. I do searches specifically for Dr Eleanor Janega. If she is teaching it, I am watching it. I have become quite an informed novice of things Medieval and peasant. Thank you, Dr!❤ It's fun getting to know more and become interested about an era I previously found boring. I really love it now ❤

Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and didn't return until the mid 1600's. Not many law suits during the medieval period I daresay.

Such a great topic spoilt by the presenter's hands, they're all over the show, distracting from the content. Stop it for god's sake keep your hand minimal. It fact stop her from presenting.

I could survive if I had some MRE, my .300blkout and my plates with carrier

Well done, you!

It seems like all throughout history the Jewish people always end up getting persecuted! Remember Jesus was a Jew! You should hear what some of my acquaintances say when they hear the word Jew... ugg. I try to explain to them how they have been persecuted more so than any other religious, race of people. Sadly, the king used them as money makers for himself because it was a sin for a Christian to lend money to another Christian..

You have really big nipples

History Hit is amazing, and so is Dr. Eleanor.

I like the content but the host seems more like a professor giving a lecture at is their university to me it's a bit stiff

Have to “um actually”! Britain was not conquered until after the Roman republic became and empire, so I think the construction time should the 2-3rd century AD not BC? 😮

You can't make a living even in modern London

We are seeing woke humans take over schools and changing history. You can just tell this lady believes Ann Bolin was black.

Wall built by the Romans from second to third century BC. Wait a moment and think about you have just said.

Sometimes Europe, sometimes you're down.

Eleanor is a great historian. Pity about the incessant, god-awful stock music

How many First Courians remember Smithfield?

Debtors prison, how screwed up is that! ?

I sometimes imagine walking down a street in these times. London has great history untill 1997

The BBC used to show content like this ;)

Thanks!

WOW!! Amazing doc. It's so sad to hear these stories. Power and the way things are done in societies have not changed much. Although we are a bit more civilized regarding human rights, so many of these ideas are still embedded in our system. No church for me; it has so much dark history.

Fantastic history lesson ❤

If I had the knowledge that I have now? I would start by building a criminal empire. Use my men and ill gotten gains to create an independent city state. Give my troops a few modern inventions. I would have crude firearms, simple steam engines, and teach them modern tactics. (The ones i remember anyways).
I would create steam ships. Rebirth the Roman empire, and conquer the entire world. Then give up dictatorship. SPQR! FOR THE GLORY OF ROME!

Is Dr. Elonore tricking us with that man voice?……not that it matters??? -2024

I´m so grateful, that I´m living in the 21th century and have access to modern medicine. I can hardly imagine, how it is to suffer from cancer without painkillers like morphine.

Na im black so id be a slave 😊

Very interesting and well done.

1.25 speed

Great account. I’m fascinated with this topic

I feel like if you can survive your childhood in Medieval London you can survive anything in Medieval London. Well, I mean, there was that whole Black Death thing... 🤔

Ok, I feel like if you can survive THAT then you can survive anything. And if you survive both, you're practically indestructible at that point. Go forth and conquer!

Pleasure center should be your home

That accent doesn’t go with the content. It’s like listening to finger nails on a chalk board.

whats a dook? is it similar to a duke?

I found this history to be very interesting. A couple years back I found some family genealogy that went back to London. Apparently they weren't poor since Sir George Barnes II and III were both Lord Mayor's of London as well as at least one Daniel Gorsuch a mercer merchant of London and his son John Gorsuch with a Dr of Divinty. And then William Lovelace the poet is stuck in there. Very much enjoyed the history of London

So-o-o . . . the Bishop of Winchester was a pimp then?

Why is it a woman doing this

Anything Dr Janega's insatiable

London Wall was built by the Romans from the 2nd to the 3rd century BC ?!
The Romans arrived and left mid 1st century BC. They return mid 1st century and stay until the 5th. .
Was the wall built from 2nd to 3rd centuey AD?!

Thank you Elenor for an excellent presentation

If i had money id tour your enire island. I love your history

"GOD did'nt save you I saint bartholomew did???" WHAT!!! how are you higher than GOD
