???? THE UNTOLD STORY
It is often said that life in the Middle Ages was short, brutal, and ended at 30. But the stones of the old villages tell a different story. If you could survive the perils of childhood, a medieval peasant could live a long, full life. Tonight, we explore that journey. We look at the food they ate, the doctors they feared, and the elders who carried the wisdom of the past.
