Notes on Middle Ages

Baths
Took baths once a month,wore same clothes cause they had only one outfit. Used lavender flowers and mint in water to cleanse themselves;they were used to keeping fleas away since they had animals and straw in their houses
Chairman- comes from Middle Ages since the head man sat in the one chair they had
Sleeping
The whole household would pile onta a lump of straw that they called a mattress, animals were welcome to lay with them to keep them warm
Troubadours
Traveled from town to town and sang for food, songs were about love or kings of old, they would strum a lute or guitar
