Did Medieval Soldiers Get PTSD ⚔️ | Boring History for Sleep

About this episode

Forget the idea that medieval warriors were hardened and untouched by war. Battles meant close combat, constant fear, brutal injuries, and memories that followed soldiers long after the fighting ended. Though they had no name for trauma, medieval chronicles hint at nightmares, withdrawal, guilt, and lives quietly altered by violence. A calm story about war’s unseen wounds in an age that rarely spoke of them.
