Episode Synopsis

Boring History for Sleep – Why It Sucked To Be a Saxon During the Norman Conquest dives into one of the most uncomfortable eras in medieval English history. Daily life for Saxons during William the Conqueror’s takeover was harsh, uncertain, and often brutally unfair.

In this sleepy, slow-paced narration, you’ll explore how the Norman invasion changed everything—land ownership, food supply, daily labor, punishments, and even the way ordinary people were allowed to live. From heavy taxes to forced labor, from the destruction of villages to the rise of a new ruling class, being a Saxon during the conquest was nothing short of miserable.

Settle in, close your eyes, and drift off as we explore the quiet, gritty realities of 1066 England.
