I've managed to arrange some clothing affiliate links with Burgschneider here as so many people were asking about cloaks and hoods.

17:58 One thing to keep in mind is that inns were only used by people who had to pay for hospitality. Upper class people travelling, like a high priestess or nobleman (who also - in both cases - would travel with *huge* retinues), would instead seek hospitality from peers, often arranged a day in advance (by runners carrying messages), or several days or even weeks in advance. Or there’d be long-standing friendships, meaning that a Brandybuck can always stop over at a Took’s home and the other way around.

Dude you are single handedly why my players are consistently astounded by how immersive my Dungeons and Dragons campaigns are. I swear I get dozens of ideas from every video you make! I love whenever you quip about how medieval fantasy worlds may be alike or differ from how everything worked historically. I've tried to send a few friends your channels way too. Keep up the amazing work!

"Hobbits? Four hobbits! What business brings you to Bree?" "We wish to stay at the inn. Our business is our own."

I seriously enjoyed listening to a gentleman standing next to a tree.
No flashy stuff just someone actually teaching something.
This was refreshing. Gonna subscribe and also watch the older videos. 😊

I can tell you, after travelling all day either on foot or by horse on a chilly day, just being out of the wind is a blessed thing. Add a fire and a pallet? I'll take that!

That scene with Aragorn in the inn, smoking his pipe while looking wicked still makes me grin. ☺️

Imagine walking down a country road and seeing a man dressed as a medieval traveler galloping on a white horse whilst speaking to a mobile phone on a selfie stick, and then the drugs kick in.

I almost spit out my drink when he suddenly said "piss, " after using such proper terms up until then 😂. Keep up the good work Jason, this is what the History channel SHOULD have been.

As a fantasy writer I love channels like this because they provide a lot of insight into how to add flavor to your world building and this one is one of my absolute favorites. Thanks for all the great content.

Love how he made a side note of having to consider how fantasy creatures will have to be looked after. Man knows his audience.

I just re-read the Bree part of LOTR and it's remarkable how consistent it is to this. I guess Tolkien knew what he was about.

Dear Jason Kingsley, you really take us back in time with each chapter of your educational saga and we are so used to seeing you dressed in medieval clothes, that we can no longer imagine you in 21st century clothes.... ;)

I congratulate you for what you do, your videos are very good and I think it is time for them to be recognized worldwide... ;)

You should definitely do something with Max Miller from Tasting History ! He made a video about medieval taverns and what you ate there just a few days ago ! With his humor and knowledge and yours, with his cooking and your costumes, I'm pretty sure it would be amazing !

I have an ongoing story i tell my children every night as they drift off to sleep. The main characters frequent inns as part of their journey. Thanks for covering this as it helps me flesh out the atmosphere of the inns.

[johnjeske]

My ancestors had an Inn in what is now Poland. Rooms to let, a stable for horses, hay for feed, blacksmith, a bar for drink and food, wagons and goods were safe. They established the Springkrug Inn after the 30 years war and run it until 1946 when the Soviet army deported the Innkeeper to the west.

Watching this historic take on inns I was getting distracted for a hot second and when I once again could pay full attention, he suddenly talked about Hippogryphs eating horses.

I love it.

In Don Quixote, Cervantes gives some vivid (almost contemporary) descriptions of activities in late-mediaeval inns.

10:05 I am a veterinarian and the reason why horses, donkeys etc can sleep upright is that as equines, they have a ligament that lets them stand and relax upright called "Lacertus Fibrosus"Other creatures lack this ligament and cannot sleep/relax/rest upright.

Thank you so much for those videos! I just love those insights into the daily business of medieval times
