You’re not a knight. Not a monk. Not even a farmer. Tonight, you’re just a forgotten child slumped outside a church, hoping someone leaves behind a crust of bread. In this immersive sleep story, we follow the quiet, brutal life of a medieval beggar—from birth in a freezing lean-to, to sickness under a stone bridge, to prayers unanswered in the shadow of the wealthy.

Told in calm, slow narration with dark historical realism, this bedtime documentary pulls you into the cold mud of medieval Europe, where hunger gnaws, mercy is rare, and being poor is practically a crime.

Perfect for history lovers, insomniacs, and anyone curious about the parts of the past we don’t put in textbooks.
