We’re not going to sugarcoat it – Hollywood has lied to us. Big shock, right? Seriously, though, think back to every movie set in the Middle Ages you’ve ever seen. Everyone’s always filthy, their teeth are somewhere between yellow and brown, and personal hygiene doesn’t seem to have been invented yet.Well, we’re here to tell you that’s pretty much fabrication. Sure, people didn’t have hand sanitizers or antibacterial soaps, but they were fully aware that being clean was preferable to being dirty. Of course, standards were different, but people still did their best with what they had. Well, except some royals. These are the kings and queens of the Middle Ages, and their eccentric hygiene routines.
