You’re not a knight. You’re not even French. You’re a half-starved Highlander shoved onto a French boat and handed a pike with a splintered shaft. Welcome to the glamorous life of a Scottish mercenary in the Hundred Years’ War — where the food is rotten, the boots don’t fit, and the only thing worse than the English are your own commanders.

This sleep-friendly historical deep dive takes you into the mud, blood, and boredom of a forgotten front line — through sea-sickened crossings, freezing trenches, and battles where you barely matter. Told in a calm, immersive tone with a touch of dry humor, this is bedtime history for the chronically curious and catastrophically tired.

Settle in. It’s going to be a long, wet, miserable night.
