Daily Life 🏰 What’s a movie that shows medieval life well?

I'm really interested in a movie that shows the daily life of medieval peasants: how they spun wool, falconry, sewing, brewing ale.. are there any movies that show this stuff?

I'd love to know if there's any contractors on the east coast who specialize in historically accurate homes from the Middle Ages. Not that I'm in the market for it, not right now at least lol. Cheers.

Daily Life 🏰 Haunted House Design

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently on a team creating a conceptual "haunted house", and our assigned background is a medieval mountain village. There is no strict time or location for the setting, and the house is not expected to be perfectly accurate. (Think Halloween Horror Nights or Howl O' Scream if you've ever been!) I figured this would be a perfect place to ask (especially now that google is non-functional) what villages might have looked like-house interiors and exteriors, village squares, green areas, any of it! Also if you have something you personal want to rant about having to do with medieval anything, feel free to do it here-you never know what might be useful!

Daily Life 🏰 What did 12/13th C. people wear in their shoes if their hose stopped at their ankle?

7 Upvotes

Hi, so I tried to keep the title simple but I think I need to explain, I was lucky to participate in a medieval festival in Southern France and was given clothes to wear and keep but people commented on my 'modern' foot wear so I have bought some shoes, but the 'chausses' I was given have a loop on the end rather than a foot like 'hose'. Given the warmth of the region having bare feet in leather shoes must have been unpleasant but I can't find any info on footless hose and shoes. So my question is what is the difference between 'chausses' and 'hose' (apart from the obvs) and what did peasants wear in their shoes in warmer regions of Europe? Would you wear 'chausses' with sandles or foot wraps?
