Before the understanding of sterilization techniques, the FDA, even the importance of clean drinking water, millions survived through Medieval England. Some even survived into their 80s and 90s! How did they do it? Join author and historian Toni Mount, as she discusses how it was done and what we would need to do if time travel ever became a thing and we had an opportunity to travel back in time.

This is going to be a fun and fascinating conversation!

About How to Survive in Medieval England:

Imagine you were transported back to Medieval England and had to start a new life. How would you survive without your mobile phone, internet and social media? When transport means walking (or, if you’re fortunate, horse-back), how will you know where you are or where to go? Where will you live? What is there to eat? What shall you wear?

Who can you go to if you fall ill or are mugged in the street?!

All these questions and many more are answered in this one part self-help guide and one part unique approach to examining a part of history: How to Survive in Medieval England comes with top-tips to make your visit to the Middle Ages much more fun; have a go at preparing medieval dishes and learn some new words to set the mood for your adventure!
