Traumatized by medieval documentary?

Hi, I've just watched a medieval documentary. There was a woman in it who had leprosy. If you had something like that you were completely ostracized 🙁 and the hygiene conditions were really disgusting. I really didn't think it was that bad in the Middle Ages. I feel really sorry for my ancestors right now. I think they think we're all p*ssys the way we live today.

Hey,

Other countries other continents are these living conditions still normal. The heating and the tap water as well as the toilet, shower or tub, these are no worldwide standards. Supermarkets neither. Or even to be able to live an apartment or house alone, actually the total luxury. Unfortunately only estimated by a minority. But I hope for my part that this luxury will still be preserved laaaaange

LG!

Yes, and the Luther-sympathizer was burned in the Netherlands as a heretic, only because he suggested to translate the Bible from Latin to the national language.

People can become beasts when it creates a powerful group of them.

Abart.

That’s why you don’t have to develop a PTBS. Because it has to be treated first.

No, no one was burned because he suggested to translate a Bible.

Wait till you find out what happened to orphans. Or how births were.

Don’t worry, this is still normal in parts of Africa. We could just do something about it, but then we would have to stop fighting for every little thing and cheating.

The docu is (forgive) garbage. The hygiene conditions were good and sick have received help in monasteries and hospitals. Caritas was an important virtue! Our ancestors were humans, even they had compassion and didn’t like dirt.

Was there in the Middle Ages sewerage and flowing water in the hay?

There were alternatives to sewerage.

  • Ehgrän
  • Sicker groups
  • Locations in the courtyard and garden

You forget that even in the 1950s many houses were not connected to the sewer system and had their plumps in the yard and garden.

Flowing water is convenient, practical and saves a lot of time. It is, however, not a precondition to keep reasonably clean. Also our grandmothers and fathers were clean – without running water in the house.

You didn’t need it.
