From Modern History TV
Jason Kingsley, OBE, the Modern Knight, tests out a medieval wheelbarrow. Ever wondered how well a medieval wooden wheelbarrow really worked? In this video, I test out a hand-built reproduction of a medieval wheelbarrow to see how it handles in real life. From carrying heavy loads to manoeuvring over rough ground, we’ll explore whether this simple tool was as practical in the Middle Ages as it looks in manuscripts. I’ll be talking about the history of medieval wheelbarrows, how they were built, and what made them different from the modern barrows we use today. Perfect for anyone interested in medieval history, historical reenactment, or just seeing how medieval tools hold up in practice! No AI, AI free, human made, no gen AI. Everything in this video is filmed, tested, and experienced in real conditions. No AI-generated content. If you enjoy seeing history brought to life, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more medieval experiments and adventures. This video showcases a beautifully crafted medieval wheelbarrow, made by Robert Hereford and modelled after historical illustrations. It offers a glimpse into the ingenuity of the Middle Ages, highlighting how such a hand cart was made from found materials. We examine the woodwork and design, reflecting on medieval history and the practicalities of such an item.
