A Day in the Life of a Medieval Baker | The Loaf That Could Hang a Man

Medieval Hour Video 2 days ago

Description

It is two in the morning, and Tomas the baker is elbow-deep in dough when the beadle knocks: the assize men are coming at sunrise — and one of his loaves will not weigh enough. Someone has been stealing from his flour, and someone wants him in the pillory.

Follow Tomas from the dead-of-night oven firing, through the kneading, the baker's mark stamped into every loaf, and the tampered flour sack sewn shut with a tailor's stitch — to the market-square weighing, the apprentice who finally speaks the truth, and the rival whose smile dies when the real thief is found.
