Life in the Middle Ages was never easy, but how did people--especially those in northern regions--survive the season of ice and snow? What did they do during dark winter days and nights in extreme temperatures? This lecture will examine the realities of wintry life, including a discussion of new research techniques involving ice cores to understand the medieval climate, and how the Little Ice Age impacted global climates.
