Of all the leisure activities, bathing was surely the most important for the greatest number of the medieval society. |
|
Since firewood was expensive, no one could afford having hot water throughout the year. |
|
Although the medieval society liked bathing, no one but the very rich had enough money to buy firewood for hot water in the winter. |
|
Due to the fact that poor people couldn't afford firewood for a hot bath, they didn't bath as often as the rich. |
|
Because firewood was not difficult to afford, public bathing became popular in the medieval society. |
