What Hygiene Was Like For Medieval Peasants
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- Although cleanliness in the Middle Ages was primitive compared to what modern people enjoy, it doesn't mean medieval hygiene didn't exist. Despite living in an era long before indoor plumbing, shampoo, and nail salons, people used the best hygiene practices they could. Unfortunately, they didn't have a lot to work with. Peasants had it especially bad and weren't often able to afford luxuries like more than one set of clothing. For the lower classes, personal hygiene in the Middle Ages meant keeping clean however you could, even if it wasn't easy.

The video maker doesn't know that in medieval England it was considered unnatural for a woman to place any phallic shaped object into her vagina.

As a medievalist, I’d like to say that all this information is correct at one point or another. However, we need to remember that these things were not actually the truth at all times and in all places, even somewhere as compact as medieval UK. Early medieval period was VERY different than later medieval period, for example. There were also easterners who migrated to the uk with very different styles of cleanliness. Not to mention there were more than just “brits” in medieval UK (Picts, Scandinavians, Celts) whom all had separate ideas about cleanliness. Also I’m curious where you got your information for menstration but the twig thing is not really supported by historians since it’s fair to say that most women would at least have the brains to determine that a stick covered in cloth was painful. Women would more than likely wear a diaper-like wrapping to catch blood and there are fashion historians who have tested it out recently as well. Anyways, there’s a lot more I’d like to say but all in all, pretty much all spot with the actions but the picture is skewed to make it seem like people didn’t evolve and change for nearly 1000 years. The end.
Thank you! Saves me mentioning the length of time that age lasted. I'm not a mediaeval expert like you, but I do know that!
"If a peasant suffered diarrhea or a painful bm, doctors would think they were cursed."
To be fair diarrhea does feels like a curse lol
Try having clostridium difficile.They'd call in exorcists.I'm surprised they didn't have a resident plague doctor in the (excellent) hospital I was in .Post covid,maybe they do.
@Layla Forrest Heh,my family called it "their only heirloom".They wore brown pants most of the time.

The woods almost always belonged to the royalty so they would've found you, and probably executed you.
Plus, poaching was often prohibited for anyone but the royal hunter and the royals themselves (for sports) so you wouldn't even have been able to eat anything but berries. If they weren't poisonous.
Due to feudalism you'd have to have your local Lords permission. Most poor people were serf, and were tied to the land and lord.

I really want to see a medieval person's reaction on present times.
Me too! I think they would be blown away by just how we use the bathroom or wash ourselves.
They would probably accuse us of witch craft and try to burn and cleanse our impurities...
Watch the Black Knight.
I thought this same thing! Something tells me they’d think most, if not all, of our hygiene practices are borderline ridiculous to the point of like witchcraft or something lol
theyd probably think its witchcraft or think weve gone mad
The Mayans and Aztecs could never. They had plumming and everything, worked as a community. they were known to be the cleanest and most self sufficient.
Yup
Yeah, but solely the Aztecs, and primarily due to their proximity to water. That’s a single Central American tribe out of hundreds of tribes in North America. I don’t appreciate how non whites try to make other cultures seem as if they’re so much more clean than Europeans.
@Ooki Cooki the flavour
@@RedVelvetBlackleather it wasn’t very hard to be cleaner than the europeans
@@ilovelobstas9393

I guess, women in medieval times had their menstruation only once or twice in a lifetime,
cause thy had to marry early and were constantly pregnant! :-(
My thoughts too! They would breast feed which would keep it away until they could get pregnant again.
And the back-breaking labor also had an effect on periods.
They died too
That never came in my mind :o
Malnutrition stops monthly periods too
How medievla folks deal with hygiene: If everyone is stinky then nobody is stinky, problem solved!

There is definitely different levels to the funk
The few people who didn't stink smelled 'funny' and were often ridiculed and pelted with fresh cabbage.
there is always stinkier, believe me.

Using twigs to brush teeth is actually not as bad as you might imagine. If you get a fresh twig that's not completely dry, peel the outer hard layer and chew the inner part, it forms a nice soft brush.
I like the "old footage" style video lol. Feels like it's somehow the real stuff.

@@ArizonaWillful well, what those doctors tend to forget, is that people that time probably had a way better trained immune system. Its hard to compare.

Yep. I learned alot of history from Horrible Histories😭
@@brickstitch435 Myself included.
Dan McLeod for a start they actually talk about history
Seems like the roman lower class lived way better then the peasents in medieval times
It was. Medieval ages were just a continuation of the Dark Ages. Rome was a corrupt dictatorship in many ways due to countless horrible leaders. There were a small amount of actual good leaders with Historians noting that Antonius The Pious was the best emperor by his actions, lack of wars, he served Rome for over 20 years, then retired in a villa.
However even at its worst, Rome still had benefits that were lost when the empire collapsed. Trading, safety from marauders, nice and safe towns, a general leader, etc. With Rome gone, you could be taxed by several different landowners and be bullied into extortion by local tribes. There was no law and order after the Fall Of Rome. So yes, even the peasants during that period of time had more job opportunities than many medieval people.
No the video is just misleading. No that's not an equivalent comparison because you're imaging people living in the city of Rome and comparing it to deliberately selected 'horror stories' for people living in extreme rural environments that have been compiled over about 1,000 years of history.
After watching this, I now feel like I need a shower.
Fancy some company lol
That's an interesting video, thanks,I enjoyed it! However I do wish you'd include references and, if possible, dates or contexts to support some of those claims, as it's always interesting to see when and why a certain practice might have started, transformed or stopped, due to events happening within that time period, a belief, a new invention, etc.

Raphy TheMighty Genetic diversity doesn’t change the way you’d think about things. You’re acting as if back then they were Cavemen or something. There are still people today who are as white as they were and as black as medieval Africa.
No cell phones, No Computers, just normal people going about there normal day lives.
Legit horrified, and have never felt so grateful in my life
Imagine childbirth in these conditions EW 🤢
Thats why there was a high infant mortality rate back then. If a child made it to their first birthday it was a miracle. Maybe thats why we have a big celebration on our baby's 1st birthday even today we still do this.
Most of the mothers and children died anyway to be fair
@lisa martin and yet, in our modern days, millions of babies have been killed in the womb through abortions even though adoption is available. It’s crazy isn’t it?
yulyu not for men unfortunately.
@@notafuckinpplperson8233 imagine how different abortion discussion and law would be if men also could get pregnant 🤔
There's still situations like this going on in the modern world, to our shame.
our shame? who are you refering to? It's a shame for the people that can't get themselves out of it like everyone else, yeah I agree. Is it a shame for modern countries that made their way forward? No.

That's like saying if you're homeless, to just buy a house.
@@Danuxsy Your modern countries put many countries in poverty which have no solution but to flee from their country and live in the modern one.

@@Danuxsy lucky you! Speaking of a situation you haven't even experience. Usually the wealthy countries are the parasites of emerging countries. That eurocentric mindset won't take you anywhere.
What surprises me about all these different eras of hygiene is that not once did the narrator mention people boiling water to drink and clean. They could have easily boiled the water from the lake and then stored it for washing, drinking and cleaning.
And they thought we were the uncivilized savages? Boy.... I tell ya.
@•PikoraGhoul • So I recommend you check out this series that explores the many diverse historic kingdoms across the African continent. The perspective that only Europe had great civilizations is a failure of our education system. Time to re-educate. th-cam.com/video/rrQB9GHrmCs/w-d-xo.html
Lol why turn it into a race thing, people in general were more savage back then, we are all better off than they ever were, it's more just interesting how people lived back then, than something to do with race
It's a wonder there was any reproduction...I cant even imagine intimacy in that time ewwwwww
There are still stinky people today. Usually large amounts of alcohol and holding your nose does the trick 😂
To Miko I understand that after marriage. Many women also can't imagine intimacy anymore...at least not with their husbands.😄😂🤣
Imagine about to have sex but you spend 15 minutes un buckling buttons and clothing just to find a coochie that hasn’t been washed since last months river bath
Handsome Squidward it would stink so bad and probably give you a oral yeast infection
My hot water heater went out so I had to medieval it for a week.
Good thing you weren't a female surfing the crimson waves. Although regardless of where you live, I'm sure you could have found a twig somewhere
@@monicapyle 😂😂
I once lived in a camper that had a busted water heater. In the summer, I'd take quick cold showers. In the winter, I'd go to a local fitness center to take a shower there cause they supplied you with a wash cloth and a towel and hot water showers. I don't miss that stuff at all.
U ok hun? :( dm me xx
Damn this makes me so grateful
