Boring History For Sleep | The Uncomfortable Wedding: A Glimpse into Medieval Marriage
In this script, we dive into the often-overlooked and terrifying reality of medieval weddings for women. From public "bedding" rituals to the fear of a lord's "right" and the constant pressure for a successful consummation, this piece reveals why a medieval bride's wedding night was a source of dread rather than celebration. We explore the public humiliation, the church's strict control, and the societal expectations that turned a personal moment into a public spectacle.
