Wicked Witches: Castle Stories Episode 18
The witch hurtling through the air on her broomstick is a familiar image around this time of year. So too is the image of the medieval period as full of angry and ignorant peasants roaming around looking for innocent people to accuse of witchcraft (she turned me into a newt!) and burning them at the stake. But is the reputation of the medieval period as the “Burning Times” when 9 million women went to the stake really justified? And just what did medieval people really believe about witches and witchcraft anyway? Find out in this week’s episode of Castle Stories as Dave dusts off his grimoire and looks at the medieval witch.

Foul and Pestilent Vapours: Castle Stories Episode 16
The standard view of the medieval period is that it was a time when hygiene had been abandoned. Abandoning fancy Roman ideas like bathing, the average medieval person never washed and was consequently covered in vile filth, while people threw their waste into the streets and let it fester and breed rats and plague. This unfortunate and stinky image though isn’t the whole truth.
