TRIGGER WARNING BEFORE!
I once read an entire article about Louis XIV ' s oral hygiene. After eating that big amounts of sugar and just pastries, he started suffering from cavities. His personal dentists had to extract his teeth, due to their condition. But they sometimes did it wrong, and because of that, his SKULL and GUM started to rot. They had to use hot steel utensils to get rid of that rotten part, but they failed, and made a big hole between his mouth and nose.
Even after that, Louis still loved to eat. However, he couldn't eat hard things (he had lacking teeth, and thats why his personal cook created this meat pulp called pate.
Because of that hole, it is said that while he was putting the pate into his mouth, there was always some coming out of his nose. It also smelled really bad when it got stuck inside, and he had some difficulty breathing.
Pls tell me if there are many mistakes, and if you see any, tell me so I can correct myself.

A lot of things change or become extinct and maybe aroma is one. There was a shed in the 1850 farm I grew up and any time Id go near the smell was incredibly intense, I never smelt anything like it before - everything in there was from Victorian times, piled high to the ceiling, locked up since then, paintings newspapers furniture farm equipment books. My mum held a farm sale and opened the shed, everything sold. I often wondered if this was how Saxon times smelt!

I often notice the comments there are on videos like this, saying things like How disgusting! I could never have lived back then! But I imagine if such things are commonplace in one's environment, one gets used to it. Body odor was simply a fact of life and from all the liasons mentioned in the video, it didn't seem to bar people from having intimate encounters at all.

Meanwhile, in Muslim countries people washed all their particulars five times a day, brushed their teeth with neem twigs daily, and had to have a full bath with running water that included the washing all of their hair and private parts every time they had coitus. But they're the barbarians.

The French ans English are not much better in cleanliness today. They called Africans, Polynesians and Native Americans savages, yet, all of these so called savages needed to be taught to wash thier asses or to handle waste properly. And lice. Yuck. Animals get lice.

King Louie looks like a (if it is even possible) an inbred, pompous Kevin Spacey and oddly you sound like him! Just a little too creepy for me. I'm surprised the clone cultists don't have Spacey listed like they do with N. Cage, J. Travolta, and the rest of them.

I seriously doubt they dumped chamber pots where people were strolling and living. They would collected them in a vat, then taken that to a cesspit or dumped it into a hole that emptied into a cesspit.

Imagine talking to some beautiful woman and you're like, '' Excuse me. '' Then proceed to whip out your hose, turn around, spray the wall yellow and then then turn back to her, '' Shall we dance, m'lady? ''

Curious to know what you typically use as a source for information for these videos. It must have been bad to be recorded so well in historical documents

Ottoman's had an entire culture for bathing called hamams and they had to decline a meeting with a french ambassador due to his unpleasant smell.

Not much point in building a beautiful palace and shit it all under. It's a good story, but mainly nonsense.
