The book of the historian and reconstructor of Ekaterina Mishanenkova is devoted to the debunking of popular myths about the era of the Middle Ages.
In the Middle Ages, people were terribly dirty and smelly - they never washed, they did not wash their clothes, the knights went to the toilet right for themselves, in armor, and broad -brimmer The hats were worn to protect themselves from slopes and the contents of night pots, constantly poured from the windows. Queen Isabella Castilian vowed not to change linen until the Moors were expelled from Spain, and washed only twice in her life. From Louis XIV stinked like from a wild beast. King Friedrich Barbarossa nearly drowned in impurity. And on the windows of the British parliament they hung flavored curtains to protect themselves from a stench emanating from the Thames.
What is true and what is fiction? How was a medieval bath or toilet in reality? How did the parts erase linen and what incense did our ancestors use? Let"s turn to the facts
