Was personal hygiene really disgusting in the Middle Ages?

Medieval times are often imagined as a dark age, marked by dirt, disease and a total lack of personal care. But is this really the case? Were medieval men and women as careless as modern stereotypes would have us believe? It's true that in the collective imagination, the Middle Ages are often depicted as an era of widespread filth: baths were rare, streets were littered with refuse, and the population lived in unsanitary conditions. Yet this simplistic image doesn't always correspond to reality. People of the time had many ways of ensuring their cleanliness, sometimes rudimentary, but adapted to their time and beliefs. However, before delving into the details, it's important to put things into context. The Middle Ages, which spanned almost a millennium, were a period of great diversity, marked by very different living conditions in different regions, social classes and eras.
