Medieval people regularly cleaned their mattresses, they actively combatted fleas and were terrified of bad smells so did everything to avoid them. They had pillows. Blankets were washed more than once a year. Livestock didn't live in the same room as the people, they lived behind partitions. If you survived childhood you made a good chance of living into your 60s, 22 wasn't really middle aged. Thatched roofs keep rain out very well. They had curtains, especially around beds. They had toilets, outhouses, seats over cesspits, not just buckets. And no, they didn't toss it into the street. There were strict laws against it and people had noses, they didn't want that filth in their streets. There's no evidence for 'gardlyloo' till long after the middle ages. Its not French for watch out below. Streets weren't really open sewers. They had gutters that were for liquid waste like grey water only. Public latrines were very common. Lieber gott, all this in just the first 5 minutes and they fill 2 hours with it? Where do they get all this from, did ai write it? Is that why there are no sources or references? And millions watch this? Unbelievable. Depressing.
