Tonight on Boring History for Bedtime—the podcast that lulls you to sleep with the least exciting parts of the past—we quietly examine how medieval nobles were trained to rule. Forget fun. Forget childhood. These aristocratic kids were raised in a system designed for duty, decorum, and a lifetime of stress management through falconry.

Through slow, monotone narration, we’ll crawl through early Latin lessons, etiquette drills enforced with mild terror, and the political grooming that began before most kids lost their first tooth. From courtly apprenticeships to painfully awkward banquets, every detail is delivered without emotion, urgency, or flair—perfect for drifting off before your mind finishes the sentence.

Ideal for history lovers, restless brains, and anyone who finds peace in a perfectly dull crash course in noble suffering.

Settle in. Unclench. Let soothing storytelling carry you to dreamland—no plot, no stakes, just a very slow childhood with very high expectations.
