Hey all!
One of the things I really like about history is learning about everyday life, common people, trades and how they were performed, the cities and how they were constructed, etc.
Basically, most historical programs I've seen all have to do with nobility, and the stories/drama of their lives.
Even a program about Versailles for example is mostly about the politics, and less about the history of the palace itself and the inner workings.
Are there any resources to learn European history that do not have to do with nobility, and focus on the other aspects?
An example of something I really liked was the BBCs Farm series, where they put the theory to practice, and tried their best to live as people would during, say, Tudor times for example.
Thanks!
Hey there! Some of what you're interested in dovetails closely with what I'm interested in (everyday family life), and I could try to help you out. part of the issue here is that you have a wide range. What era or place are you specifically interested in? What really gets you going about everyday life?
