And whatever you do, DO NOT expose the pellets to open flame, excessive heat, or sparks of any kind! And ESPECIALLY don't ignite it if placed in a metal pipe sealed at one end, definitely not after accidentally pushing a bit of cloth and a lead ball down the pipe. Seriously, don't do it!

Bathing in the Roman era was a way of life. If you weren't at the public baths by nightfall, you weren't worth your weight. Plus, steam rooms, baths of various temperatures (which must be done in order, to "open the pores"), scented oils, wine, food, etc. This carried on to some extent during the medieval period, albeit less ostentatious. But still, people put a lot of thought into it.

This actually reminded me of something I experienced. I went to Catholic school and we weren’t allowed to wear makeup or nail polish. I also have a condition that causes me to need to use a wheelchair. One day I went to school wearing makeup. I got called to the principal‘s office and asked, “Do you need to wear makeup because of your condition?” I didn’t know what to say, but I thought saying yes was less likely to get me in trouble, so I cautiously said, “….ummm…yeahhhh?…” The principle said, “Okay, you can keep wearing it then.” I’ve thought about it from time to time, and even as an adult, I understood why my Catholic School would think having a condition would mean I would to wear makeup. Now I am seriously wondering if this Catholic school of thought was passed down all the way until the 21st century!

I think I might have some insight into the "bathing spreads disease", based off of how we lived when I was a kid. There was a wooden "thub" just like the one u have there, big wooden thing. You would then get water from the well and heat it up on the stove, it would take several really large pots of boiling water to get enough to mix it into body friendly temperature. This in fact is such a laborious process that everyone would just wash in turn in the same water, it would be incredibly resource and time consuming to change out the water. After you're done soaking and scrubbing you'd stand up and rinse of with unspoiled water, and then the next person goes in. In fact me and my brother were small enough to bathe together. Now the washing your hands part really isn't that hard, cold water will do, if you had some bigger work to do which would result in a bunch of people having dirty hands you could also just heat up a bit of water and mix it into warm water in a bucket. So yeah, while they might not have been aware of the microscopic world, if you have a disease that causes nasty deformations to your skin, which shed or leak bile when disturbed, then it's quite apparent that you're getting into contact with it if you share the bath water, so in a weird way I can see why some people might have reached such a conclusion.

An interesting bit of information that could maybe apply to the Medieval people being dirty stereotype, that also applied to some places in the early 1900s was people may have bathed in the river. In my state of Minnesota there was a public "bathhouse"on an Island in our capital city, that was part of the Mississippi River. Many Butcher shops dumped things in the river and garbage as well, some of that ended up in the area people bathed. Therefore, it wasn't actually cleaner then just washing in the rain or something.

The lavabo is still used in modern French. It's a bathroom sink. I love rediscovering the connection between old and new world.

I love those videos with her. Make more! :D It's nice to get some everyday insight into the medieval time. And I'm trying to remember all of it so that I can use it in my books. :D

One of the best scenes I've seen depicting medieval bathing was from the Joan of Arc movie with Mila Jovovich. It takes a lot of liberties with historical accuracy, but there's one scene where people are talking to the king while he's just relaxing in his bath and it's not a private room. There's at least half a dozen servants and attendants in the space.

I just jumped from the previous video with Rosalie to this one, and previously when the comment about undergarments came up it got me thinking. How did women "relieve themselves" in the medieval period? Men just open their fly or drop their trousers and get to it. Meanwhile its not quite so simple for women. But with dresses being the standard fashion of that time, that would just exacerbate their situation.

This episode is one big giggity while dropping a ton of information and I appreciate that.👌

What a wonderful interview! I think that's the first time I've seen Shad keep his enormous ego in check for an entire video. Thank you, Shad. Keep working on that. I might even subscribe again. 😋
