 History to Go – Now Also for Your Ears! For over 23 years, we've been delivering more than just swords, chainmail, and helmets – now we've got the perfect mind movie to go with it! Join us on a time travel adventure to the ancient Greeks, the hard-drinking Vikings, and the Middle Ages, where knights really knew how to lay into it. We'll tell you how people lived, loved, and fought back then – sometimes epic, sometimes bizarre, but always with heart and helm. Whether it's reenactment, LARP, or cosplay, we turn history into an adventure – also online at www.battlemerchant.com 😊Hendrik Pahl Mondiale

    #vikings #diy #craftsmanship In this exciting episode, Hendrik and Carmen show you how to design your very own Viking axe! From the historical significance of the axe to practical implementation today. We dive into the fascinating world of Viking axes and explain why these tools were far more important to the Norsemen than swords. From the famous Mammen Axe with its elaborate decorations to simple work axes – the Vikings knew how to personalize their tools. You'll learn everything about material selection, tools, and techniques: What wood is best suited for the shaft? How do you wedge the axe head properly? And how can you customize your axe with leather wrappings, pyrography, or other decorations? We pay attention to both historical authenticity and practical feasibility for reenactment, LARP, or home decoration.

    Winter is coming! Medieval Winter in Europe: From Freezing Castles to Cozy Feasts
    Dec 19 2025
    #medieval #winter #history In this fascinating episode, Hendrik and Carmen show you how people in the Middle Ages not only survived winter but actually enjoyed it! From the Medieval Climate Optimum with wine cultivation in England to the icy 1430s – the history of winter is full of surprises. You'll learn how clever the layering principle was in medieval clothing, why fur didn't only mean luxury, and how revolutionary the tile stove was for heating. From ingenious food preservation with sauerkraut and cured meat to the elaborate firewood logistics to winter amusements like ice skating on bone runners – the Middle Ages were much cozier than you'd think! People developed ingenious strategies: wood-paneled chambers as warm retreats, warming stones for the bed, and even a putting-out system for winter work. Despite all the hardships, wonderful traditions emerged – from Christmas celebrations to Shrovetide that still shape our culture today.
