Did you know that rabbits were once a luxury in medieval England? 🐇 Unlike today, when they are often considered pests, rabbits were highly prized for their meat and fur. But they weren’t kept in cages—they lived in specially designed burrows called warrens or pillow mounds!
These man-made rabbit homes were carefully built with multiple tunnels and chambers, surrounded by moats and fences to keep the rabbits safe. For over 500 years, these warrens provided food, clothing, and even status symbols for the rich. But how did rabbits go from being a luxury item to common creatures found everywhere?
In this video, we’ll take you back to medieval times to explore:
✅ The forgotten history of rabbit warrens
✅ How rabbits helped people survive during famines
✅ Why the Normans introduced rabbits to Britain
✅ The fascinating role of rabbits in shaping history
✅ The ancient pillow mounds that still exist today
Join us as we uncover the untold story of rabbits in medieval England! 🏰🐰
