I remember seeing this castle under construction quite some time ago. Although its been 25 yrs there has been a lot of progress made. I love this kind of hands on history lesson they are fortunate enough to take part of. I was raised on a small peanut farm in rural Oklahoma in the early 1960's and my family lived as if it was the Nineteenth Century. We raised everything we ate with the exception of staple goods, like sugar, salt and other spices. Also footwear and some clothing was bought in town. My father and uncles would butcher hogs in the winter and cure the meat in my grandfathers smokehouse. We would take calves to town to be butchered and have the meat stored at the meat locker until we needed it.
My mother would can vegetables from our garden and fruit from our orchard in quart fruit jars to store in the cellar. I know our life didn't come close to comparing to the extra hard life in Medieval times but my father and uncles were very adventurous and would invent or build what was needed. My father made a rope maker like the one shown and we made many ropes. During the growing and harvest season my older brother, sister and I would work from before dawn to sunset most of the time No one had indoor plumbing and the entire small community was all the same. I can relate to working hard to survive and building a lot of the things we needed.
I am sure that castle builders in the 13th century knew their jobs very well and construction would have gone up quickly. At least quickly to us that live in this day and time. No matter how hard the work is there is something very satisfying about being self seficient, or at least as close to being self seficient as my family was when I was growing up. I can't wait to see more of this show and a look at life in the 13th Century and more progress on a slice of the past.
I loved reading your story. Thank you for sharing. Sounds like you had a great childhood filled with life lessons.
@@4mySweetheart369 Thank you. Those days seem like they were two lifetimes ago because of how fast technology changes. My grandfather was born in 1880 and passed in 1976. He saw many changes in his lifetime.Those kinds of life lessons stay with you for life and come in very handy when times get tough. Please stay safe.
Thank you. Fascinating. I also understand working hard in the country. The modern young urbanites have no clue what hard work is (which can be incredibly satisfying, but it's still hard work). It's their loss. Thanks for your comment.
@@margaretmcgill526 don’t kid yourself. Do you think people don’t work hard in cities? This is the issue with people who never leave their home towns. Not everyone is wealthy. There are still builders and artisans hard at work. Roofers, street builders, plumbers, electricians, food service workers, and so many, many more. Even people with an inside job work very hard with long hours and limited time off, especially regular staff. Then there are cleaners, window washers, and thousands of blue collar jobs. Farm work isn’t the only hard labor job. I worked outdoors my entire life. Some of it on a horse farm, some of it in a zoo, often with multiple jobs at the same time. Don’t be such a snob about things you don’t seem to understand.
@@debshaw680 Hi Deb! Fair enough and true that most of the people you mentioned understand physically demanding work. It's the people sitting front of screens that I am actually talking about. And there are many.
I am finding this fascinating to watch! Thank you so much for sharing on this UA-cam channel.
I love Ruth Goodman. Such an infectious joy for life.
Making of rope reminded me of my childhood.
I love this series so much
This was completely enthralling! I didn't want it to end!
Check out the Absolute History channel on UA-cam for the rest of this series. The playlist is called Secrets of the castle.
@@CrankyPantss oh yeah, absolutely! I did just that! Now watching a series on Tudor farming with the same cast of historians and archeologists! I'm addicted!!

Makes you respect the builders of the Salzburg castle even more, because that castle is built on a smallish mountain ⛰️.
There was a program on our Australian tv a few years back. Wonder if this was it. Whatever - it was amazing and they are amazing, we so often dismiss the medieval time , or prior, as not relevant but they were extremely talented people weren’t they. Sometimes I feel they put our modern day to shame. They had nothing to help them but talent and hard work. Their accomodation was certainly basic but would they have been happy to have the surety of work for a period of time? Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
So interesting. So illuminating.
But at the end of the hour, I find myself exhausted.
"There are no easy medieval jobs."
I love this series so much!! Ive watched all the time periods you 3 have done. I feel more connected to the past.
So fascinating! Would love to visit one day

@@CrankyPantss thank you
I wanna be part of that!!!!
This is so cool! Who knew they had all those tools before electric powered machines!
woah, so the original plan consists of a massive gated entrance?
also that meant the origins of the wimple was a sagging chin??
also I can't wait how the Guedélon team will plan & fashion the altar pieces as well as the chapel windows
(the altar niche placed in the east is a very pre-Vatican II interior design plan)
NB UK first cathedral was built in 597 AD
24:31 human hamsters lol 😂
but that was just how Medieval cranes worked
And Doonllyn
Alex Langlands was busy and couldn't make this gig.
Wonder if this is still a possibility for me.
Yes is metal sinng
You think this is difficult? Try recreating ancient megalithic structures, by using tools they're supposed to have used in that era. THAT is difficult.
History is just a long process of building things getting easier and easier
27:10 does anyone else think dude looks like Joaquin Phoenix?
🙏
This is part of a five part series on the Absolute History channel.

I like how she puts it they imported the castle building that's bs. William the Conqueror brought the idea of building castle so the Normans can control the Anglosaxon population he change the landscape forever and the people even the English language.
Whenever I see the names of lovers carved into a tree, I don't find it cute or romantic. I find it weird how many people take knives with them on dates.
Comment of the day! Congrats you win the internet 😂😂
Never thought of it that way. You’re right 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Who is paying for this?
I am not certain however I think a local university along with donations and fundraising was done to construct this site. I am sure the government chipped in some too. However as I said it's a guess, I am not sure. Also this program probably help defer the costs too.
Commercials every two minutes. That deserves the best and biggest of DISLIKEs! Unbelievable. Totally indecent; it is not watchable, what sort of an ugly mindset and tiny intervals do you have?! This is really too much. Shame on you.
Makes me happy I pay for premium. I hate the advertising.
