From MedievalMadness
Today, many people do their shopping online, especially at Christmas when they are looking out for the next Black Friday deal. Even if we do go out to a real bricks and mortar shop or even a Festive market, we don’t have to carry money about to bag a bargain, as we can just flash a plastic card to pay for our goods. But what about the Medievals? Their shopping malls were the markets and shops. The town squares are filled with smells of freshly baked bread (as well as other dubious odours), the squawks and squeals of live animals and the shouts of vendors, all trying to entice you to buy their wares. Let’s travel back to the Middle Ages and spend some time with these Medieval shoppers, where we find merchants, markets and medieval mayhem. 0:00 Introduction 1:17 A Place For Everything 06:40 Sights, Sounds and Smells 09:26 Luxury Goods
