Medieval Life
People rarely bathed Believed it might make them sick
There are stories of how people didn’t bathe in the Middle Ages – for example, St Fintan of Clonenagh was said to take a
bath only once a year, just before Easter, for twenty-four years. Meanwhile, the Anglo-Saxons were believed that the Vikings
were overly concerned with cleanliness since they took a bath once a week. On the other hand, we can also see many
literary references and works of art depicting people taking baths, and noting that it was part of daily activity.
Harmful Bacteria was everywhere
