The author disseminates untruths about the Middle Ages, thinking that people did not wash when in fact they enjoyed baths, washed their bodies and hair, had good dental hygiene and washed their hands before and after every meal. The actor describes his MC as spreading handwashing which is completely ridiculous because it was common knowledge to wash your hands before and after every meal. The author is probably confusing the renaissance with the Middle Ages.

LIKEThanks for the information. I admit I should have looked into that topic more about hygiene during the time period. Apparently, I received some misinformation from an old friend who seemed very knowledgeable. It just goes to show that you should verify all information you receive, even from close confidants who appear like they know what they're talking about.
