Were Medieval Villages Smelly?
A little research tells us that medieval European villages were probably not smelly. The people believed cleanliness was next to godliness, and most people bathed regularly. Most towns and many villages had public baths. The medical belief at the time was that disease was spread by bad air, which translated into air that smelled bad in most people's minds, and we have records of butchers being fined because they did not clean up waste quickly enough. The records we have of manure piles, floors strewn with foul straw, and open sewers running through towns were mostly written during the Renaissance, and were probably intended to show the Renaissance was superior.

Actually, they did bathe in the Middle Ages. The people believed that cleanliness was next to godliness and kept very clean. They also believed that bad air, with foul odors, carried diseases. They had public baths in many villages. Later, the Renaissance came. People discovered perfume and went into a period when the only parts of the body to get cleaned were the parts other people could see.

They convinced alter historians of their own superiority, and people still believe them.
