Скачать или смотреть The Medieval Jester | Laughter, Fear, and a Life One Joke from Death

Behind the painted smile and ringing bells, the medieval jester lived one of the most dangerous lives in the royal court.

In this dark historical bedtime story, we explore the brutal reality of medieval jesters—figures often remembered as comic relief, but in truth trapped in a world of humiliation, fear, and constant psychological violence.

This video gently uncovers:

How jesters were often people with disabilities kept as living curiosities

The difference between “natural fools” and desperate performers who became “artificial fools”

Why the motley costume and bells were tools of control, not celebration

The terrifying risk behind the so-called “jester’s privilege” to speak freely

How constant forced laughter slowly erased identity and humanity

Told in a slow, calm, and immersive narration, this story is designed to be listened to in the dark—
to relax the body while the mind drifts through the forgotten corners of medieval life.

Let the bells fade.
Let the court fall silent.
And drift into sleep with history’s darker truths.

History for sleep
