    Note about Medieval bathing habits: Bathing only became uncommon in the later Middle Ages, especially after the outbreak of the Black Death. In the earlier Middle Ages bathing was a common activity and bath houses were found in large numbers in all medieval towns. Bath houses were important social gathering places but they also became places where people gambled or engaged in prostitution. As such, the clergy was often very opposed to the bath houses, and after the Black Death (which often spread through bath houses) led to a massive surge in religious fervor, most bath houses in Western Europe were shut down. The association of bathing with sinful habits and disease is what led to the widespread aversion towards bathing in the late middle ages and early modern periods.

    • @joellaz9836
      @joellaz9836 2 года назад +51

      This is true. Charlemagne’s biographer Einhard talks about how Charlemagne loved bathing
      “Charles took delight in the vapour of naturally hot waters, and constantly practised swimming, in which he was so proficient that no one could be fairly regarded as his superior. Partly for this reason he built his palace at Aix, and lived there continuously during the last years of his life up to the time of his death. He used to invite not only his sons to the bath but also his nobles and friends, and at times even a great number of his followers and bodyguards.”
      I think it was during the early 16th century that public bathing began to decline in popularity because people were afraid of the spread of syphilis.

    Medieval folks may not have bathed regularly but most had access to soap and did wash hands and faces daily. They used twigs to clean their teeth.

      Yeah , they would also take great care to at least wash their face in a troth if they were in a pinch. If they did have time and most importantly if they had access to a river or spring , they would wash themselves and some would even put lavender or other herbs and flowers on their clothes and homes.

    4:59 I studied Tudor England for my A-Level, and I can say that the House of Tudor's reign was certainly an interesting period. Henry VII was incredibly competent although grew more cold-hearted and cruel through both grief and age, Henry VIII was an incredibly ineffective monarch on the whole whose goals in foreign and internal affairs often contradicted one another. (For example, he was an avid enjoyer of History and wanted to be an Imperial Monarch like the Angevinian Kings of old, He wanted to be loved and feared by his subjects, which doesn't really add up. The list goes on.) Edward died before he really got to do much of anything, and Mary was disastrous. A devout Catholic monarch in a nation that had just turned Protestant. Elizabeth was probably the first properly successful monarch outside of her grandfather in the 120 years since the House's founding. Fascinating and incredibly relevant piece of traditional English history, but very, very weird.

    I have spent nearly every day of my life over the past 5 years intensely studying English history, with a special focus on Edward III. That the foregoing king lead England into a devastating war with France is not one bit short of falsehood. The victories at Sluys, Crecy, and Poitiers are some of the greatest in military history, and starting such a war was strategically prudent for Edward. When Henry V invades northern France in 1415, nearly half a century after Edward III's death, he intentionally takes the same path that Edward III took on his 1346 campaign, and that eventually leads him to yet another one of the greatest victories in military history, Agincourt.
    That he reigned during the time of the Great Plague is an utterly meaningless point, and I truly wish that the writer/s did not imply that it somehow serves to subtract from his greatness.
    I have looked into nearly every major work in which Edward III is a primary topic, and I have never heard about his "disgusting" childhood habits. It was also considered utterly disrespectful to behave in such a manner in the middle ages.
    Edward III was considered to be the greatest king England had ever had up until whig historians in the 19th century started scorning him, a medieval king, for not being like an industrial revolution era liberal and progressive statesman. Now that historians are more interested in history than in retrospective mockery, the man's reputation has slowly been improving (for anyone interested in a biographical work, I recommend those of Ian Mortimer and Mark Omrod).

    Medieval people were generally hygienic. It wasn't until the Black Death in 1349 that a lot of the grosser habits were adopted. Public baths were closed in quarantines and people associated bathing with the disease which is incorrect but not totally unreasonable of a leap to make when you have no concept of microbial life. Medieval people had good teeth until large scale sugar production in the New World starting in the 16th century, and then tooth decay became a leading cause of death.
