The Luttrell Psalter - A Year in a Medieval English Village

Hijab ❤

Could I please use and edit parts of this video for a medieval history video? I'll give full credit and post a link to your channel. The footage is very cool, love it

Only 5 people survived the next winter

Those sheep sound so much like the Minecraft Sheep

To everyone who romanticizes this period: you all lack of knowledge and common sense

Is nice to and see mldieval that
In the 1350

14th century so it mean this is in 1300's ?

Are the women opressed? 🧕🏻

These Psalter miniatures really have a lot of expressiveness sometimes, great idea to make this into a movie, well realized respect, thank you very much for sharing ❤

Good morning 🎉 SMS from srivalli India state tamilnadu language Tamil and English very nice place good sir old vedio which country

very beautiful and artistic short film!

..and then: THE PLAGUE

dark fate aside, beautiful video, more of these!

Amazing short film! I recently went to a recreation of a peasant village in 14th century England called “Camlann Medieval Village” in Carnation, Washington for a Midsummer (or “Midsomer”) festival. As a medievalist, I love exploring the lives of the peasantry the most out of all the social classes of the time. They faced a lot of hardships, but this video shows how they found ways to enjoy life with the little time they had, and it wasn’t all dark or depressing. I also love medieval music, and I loved hearing the song, “Miri it is while sumer ilast” in the video (it’s one of my favorite songs).

bluds werer straight up singing in simlish

the song the ladies spinning yarn are singing is called "mirie it is while sumer ilast" for anyone who was curious like me and hadn't heard it before

Live like this maybe enjoy not in city always busy everythink

🥲🥲🥲

I'm struggling with how some people are romanticising this time period, it was brutal and awful

A sweet and quirky little film. I had not previously heard of the Luttrell Psalter and I've arrived here after investigating the British Library site. I enjoyed the mediaeval music, but to be truer to the Psalter and its time, perhaps the accompaniment should have been mostly silence, and the sounds of nature?. 

But I have to say that today, seven hundred years later, that this old man sometimes feels an unbearable weight of sadness - an abiding existential angst - a sense of loss so profound to be unbearable at times, because what we see here is a humanity, imperfect, struggling, life often short and brutal, and subject to catastrophes of war and disease - at least a humanity with a future no worse than its past. A humanity, with a population of perhaps two and half million in England, that had room to make mistakes, and did, but that nature was never itself under threat. A society that could continue this way for ever. 

This little film is set in England's four seasons, a cycle of life and a climate on this Earth that had nurtured humanity for eight thousand years. Will we even have seasons in a hundred years, will the beauty of the frost on the spider's web or the cattle's hoof prints in the snow be a totally vanished picture for our descendants? Can one imagine that the idea of England can even exist with just two seasons - mild and unbearably hot?

No-one then would ever think of going to war with nature, nor did they have the capacity to do so. But now? We are waging an ever more dirty and extreme war on our very planet and in doing so, waging war on ourselves.

It's a war our teeming and stampeding multitudes cannot win, for in defeating nature, we defeat ourselves, and even worse perhaps, defeat hope. Will we even lose our soul? I sometimes feel my soul is emptying out. We cannot turn the clock back, but we are heading for a simpler life whether we like it or not. And when we get there we might even learn that in that simplicity, life is good. At least I won't be writing strange homilies in electronic media, and you won't be having to read them. We'll be far too busy living.

Our sober and thoughtful monarch, King Charles lll, perhaps he should be called "Charles the Serious", seems to express similar ideas and worries and has done so consistently through his life. His rural idealism and his love of an older way of life in a far corner of Europe in Romania, his occasional retreat to monastic Greece surely are the outward manifestations of a similar distress. I am sure I am not alone.

What is the song the spinning woman is singing?

Your mum remembers this

Ima tell my kids that this is Monty Python and the Holy Grail

i love it its beautiful this resembles the creativity that humans have and what they could do until you remember the old torture methods

i would love to find the music from this film.

does anyone know why that women was hitting that man??

I disliked cuz i got this video for homework. It wasted my time.

Depressing how Europeans wasted 500 years doing the same thing over and over again.

What a wonderful presentation you've constructed here. I'v chosen an 1800's impression and am familiar with living histories. You've done a service to this era. Attention to detail such as accurate pottery, food gathering and music has not been lost here to the " what we think Hollywood's shown us "way of thinking to the "what's really accurate". Which as we know is vastly different! Cudos also to the parents who have included their children. A sure sign that all our research and study will be passed on into the years ahead. ....Again, WELL DONE ! ! ...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All I can think of is how difficult it was for people to deal with medical issues back then that we take for granted today

I'm so happy that I have never lived like this. proper renaissance man, me.

really curious as to why these women are wearing hijab? are they muslims?

Where in England was this filmed? The nature is so beautiful!!

Ohh yess i remember that all moment with my friend,brother and family in 1308’s

Really wonderful video, I would love to have lived in a typical medieval village like that. only the cities could be unhygienic, though not always. villages were often built around the church and we see this in many towns and villages here in England today. life would have been hard but pleasant as well on a daily basis and good health, regular bathing and hygiene were promoted.

I love videos like this, it is full of detail. we know from evidence that in all periods of the medieval period, people were clean and healthy they tried to eat healthy meals, keep the home clean and so on, even the poorest person would try to wash 2-3 times per week and people near rivers might daily bathe, this was done to prevent illness and to be more godly

For cows life is same in 2023

this proves that "Hijab" or veil in general was part of Christian and European cultures. those women look very much like how women dress in many Islamic countries today.

Makes me want to paint so many of the scenes! ♥️♥️♥️

Life was simple but so beautiful and peaceful back then! You can feel the Essence of Life in every little movement which sadly we have lost in the hitech world..hope they coexist for Future Genrations.

loved this ❤❤
