    Reminder that the medieval times were no where near as bad as they were depicted, and that the early days of the Indistrual Revolution were FAR FAR worse. If you reached adulthood, you were expected to reach your 60s and the average peasant barely worked during plentiful harvests.
    Cope and seethe.

          Reminder that the bubonic plagues killed 30 to 50 percent of the entire population of Europe. Between 75 and 200 million people died in a few years' time, starting in 1348 when the plague reached London. And that was all because people were filthy as fuck back then

            No, it had to do with the rat flea abandoning the dead rats and chewing the hell out of everything else, including farm animals and pets. Which also died in droves.

            That's not how plagues work retard. Plagues come from animals, both plagues were sourced from mongolian rats. That's right, the Mongols may not have conquered Europe but they left a plague that destroyed everything after they left.

              The plague wouldn't have ravaged Europe to such an extent if they took more than one bath a year and didn't live like animals. There were plagues after the medieval times and those plagues weren't nearly as disastrous for this very reason

                A bath will not save your ass from flea infestation nor will it kill the eggs.
                There was hygiene in the Middle Ages and archeological evidence proves it. However, population growth, clothing habits due to the difficulty of obtaining fibers, and historical timing set the stage for a massive plague.

                Bubonic plague was uniquely lethal & spread easily, it was just as lethal in the 6th century and that was with the Byzantines and their hyper investments into baths and aqueducts

    You have to present the past as dreadful to make the present seem tolerable by comparison. Medieval Paris had the same amount of human shit on the streets, but they didn't have anyone OD'ing on fentanyl. That's why you have to start adding in prima noctis, witch hunts, dungeons filled with hundreds of emaciated peasants serving life sentences, and the lord's men patrolling the fields with crossbows and whips to keep the serfs working.

    Decades ago, there was a popular author who had several of his books translated into made-for-tv movies (usually 2 or 3 episode mini-series)

    > a 'historical' movie
    In most of his books, the main characters crossed paths on a regular basis with several famous characters throughout history.

      I fucking wish. 99% of historicals made in the west are set in either Roman/post roman Europe or post colonial America.
      >w-well those countries should make their own movies about their history! People should only make movies about their ancestors and never do anything imaginative ever!
      No fuck off, I want cool movies about the Aztecs and the Bronze age and I want them to have decent budgets and competent casts. We did it in the past, why stop?

      the funniest part about the entire period was that the Middle Ages European understanding of Aristotle came from the first of a two-book work of a Muslim scholar named al-Ghazali; his second work shat on Aristotlean science (as opposed to faith-based reasoning) so convincingly that it all but ended the rational era in the Islamic world.

    Back in medieval times it was very expensive for the average person to dye their clothing.
    So most people's clothing was brown/grey.

      Anonymous

      Only some dyes were expensive, others were available depending on the area or as an agricultural by-product.
      People wore colors because they did not want to be considered lower class. Colored fabrics such as black or purple were expensive, contrary to what you see in the movies.
