Unfortunately, you’re not a knight or a noble. You’re somewhere in the middle — tolerated, unprepared, and already sweating through your borrowed tunic. In this immersive sleep story, you’ll experience the full descent: from awkward arrival to terrifying table manners, from eel in aspic to drunken jester acrobatics, all the way through the chaos, carnage, and leftovers. Whether you’re watching nobles chew symbolically or dodging airborne jelly castles, one thing is clear — this isn’t your average bedtime fairytale. Perfect for falling asleep to slow storytelling, dry humor, and vivid historical absurdity. Just try not to dream of rennet pudding. 🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep Tools Looking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
