I will have to go back...I really like Ryan Reeves. I will have to go back and watch this video. He is really good on Tolkien and Lewis history too.<br /><br />About serfs, I think their work schedule was limited by growing season too. The fact that they only worked 5-8 months a year may not have been a good thing. I read a while back that serfs in many areas had to do a kind of hibernation to make it through winter. They would conserve as much energy as possible: eat little, lay in bed many hours, make fires just to eat, etc. Of course this would apply to any pre-modern society.<br /><br />But it is obvious that stereotypes of this period are way off. The little I have learned makes me want to learn much more. As BM has highlighted in this blog, the political landscape was very interesting and there are lessons for all of us to learn if we want a more free society in our day.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-22938585770765684492020-09-22T11:23:29.950-07:002020-09-22T11:23:29.950-07:00I started reading this earlier today.
