Many contemporary historians and schoolbooks portray the Middle Ages as a time of poverty, backwardness, and religious arbitrariness, from which the people were freed only by the Renaissance and later the Industrial Revolution. On the other hand, there have been a few historians who paint a much different picture and insist that the Middle Ages weren't as bad as some claim, and that in some ways they were better than most other historical periods. Here are 25 facts about this “dark” and controversial era that will help you make up your mind concerning which category you belong to: the lovers or the haters of Medieval times.

The times when knights fought in tournaments to win the heart of a fair lady are long gone now. And although many girls would think that's sad, actually there's no reason for remorse. Yeah, it all seems so beautiful and romantic, but in reality a medieval knight would be of no interest to a modern lady at all: should a modern woman meet a real knight, she would probably be filled with horror. You don't believe us? Well, here are ten terrifying facts about medieval knights.

People of the past had a different idea of what hygiene meant, and you'll be shocked at what they did to stay "fresh."
Chamber Pots
Chamber pots were containers for collecting urine overnight. Back in old Edinburgh, you always have to be alert for the shout of "garde loo," which meant "watch out for the water." If you were not quick enough, you could find yourself being showered with the contents of chamber pots hurled from tenement windows.
Leaves or Moss as Toilet Paper
Neither rich nor poor people had toilet paper. Poor people used leaves or moss to wipe their bottoms while the rich used lamb's wool instead. Kings had a royal bum wiper known as the "Groom of the Stool."
Ceruse Lead Makeup Poisoned People
Ceruse was the foundation makeup choice for both men and women as it gave them a smooth, pale look. However, it contained lead that seeped into the body through the skin, leading to poisoning.
Nosegays When Walking in a Crowd
A nosegay was something to keep the smells at bay, usually held in the hand or on the wrists on a lapel. It could be a small bouquet of flowers or a sachet of dried flowers and herbs. People held it up to their noses while walking in a large crowd of undoubtedly smelly people.
People Bathed Using the Same Water
Public baths were popular during the 13th century. But because of the scarcity of firewood used to heat the bath, bathing became an expensive practice. Whole families and friends had to share a bath, or many of them would remain dirty.
Laundry Was Scoured in Lye Made of Ashes and Urine
Ancient Romans believed in the ability of urine to remove stains. Until the medieval times, people used lye made of ashes and urine in order to clean their clothes.
Privies and Garderobe
In Tudor houses, toilets were a bowl with a slab of wood and a hole carved at the top. Builders set the toilet into a recess or cupboard-like area called a garderobe. In castles, a slab of wood covered a hole in the floor that took waste products straight into the moat. Poor people didn't have the luxury of toilets, so they simply relieved themselves wherever they could and just buried the waste matter.
No Changing of Clothes
King James VI of Scotland wore the same clothes for months on end, even sleeping on them on occasion. He also kept the same hat on 24 hours a day until it fell apart. He didn't take a bath as he thought it was bad for his health.
Lice-Infested Wigs
Nits and lice were common back then, so members of the most wealthy class would shave their natural hair and wear periwigs instead. Unfortunately, even periwigs could be infested with nits, especially during plagues.
Mouse-y Eyebrows
People were incredible fashion-conscious during the medieval era. When their eyebrows did not look fashionable, they often masked them with tiny pieces of fur from a mouse.
Cesspits
Since the sewage system back then was not very advanced, people had to make do with burying much of their waste material in a cesspit in their cellar or garden. People should have emptied these cesspits regularly, but only a few of them did. The stench was overwhelming, especially during summer and winter. Imagine falling into one—which people sometimes did!
Infection from Rushes
One of the biggest sources of infection during the medieval times was the use of rushes or straws to cover up the natural dirt floor of a building. Although people often changed the top rushes, they did not do the same to the bottom layer, leading to many possible infection sources.
A Peculiar Cure to Baldness
A 17th century publication by Peter Levens instructed men on how to cure thinning hair and pattern baldness. Men were told to combine potassium salts with chicken droppings and then place the mixture on the affected area. If they wanted to remove unwanted hair from any area of the body, they had to make a paste consisting of eggs, strong vinegar, and cat dung, and then apply it to the area where they want to remove hair.
Lead-Lined Water Tanks
Even though the rich paid for private water companies for their drinking and other water needs, the water that they consumed was not exactly better than what peasants drank. The main water supply came from elm trunks and domestic pipes lined with lead. Water also required storage in large lead tanks and often became stagnant.
Bird Droppings on the Bed
Houses in the past didn't have the sturdy roofing that houses have today, so it wasn't unusual for bugs, pests, and droppings to fall onto the clean bedding. People then invented four-poster beds in order to keep a canopy that would catch all unpleasant stuff falling from the roof and not soil the bedding.

Every year there is a medieval style combat tournament that takes place in a castle in Europe; that means swords, full body armor, and shields. This past year we followed the American team to the event to get a sense of how intense the competition is. We saw major injuries, the kind of patriotic pride you see in the Olympics, and sparks fly - literally.

Middle Ages
In European history, the Middle Ages or Medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: Antiquity, Medieval period, and Modern period. The Medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, the High, and the Late Middle Ages.
Depopulation, deurbanisation, invasion, and movement of peoples, which had begun in Late Antiquity, continued in the Early Middle Ages. The barbarian invaders, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—once part of the Eastern Roman Empire—came under the rule of the Caliphate, an Islamic empire, after conquest by Muhammad's successors. Although there were substantial changes in society and political structures, the break with Antiquity was not complete. The still-sizeable Byzantine Empire survived in the east and remained a major power. The empire's law code, the Code of Justinian, was rediscovered in Northern Italy in 1070 and became widely admired later in the Middle Ages. In the West, most kingdoms incorporated the few extant Roman institutions. Monasteries were founded as campaigns to Christianise pagan Europe continued. The Franks, under the Carolingian dynasty, briefly established the Carolingian Empire during the later 8th and early 9th century. It covered much of Western Europe, but later succumbed to the pressures of internal civil wars combined with external invasions—Vikings from the north, Magyars from the east, and Saracens from the south.

15 Medieval Hygiene Practices That Might Make You Queasy
People of the past had a different idea of what hygiene meant, and you'll be shocked at what they did to stay "fresh." Chamber Pots Chamber pots were containers for collecting urine overnight. Back in old Edinburgh, you always have to be alert for the shout of "garde loo," which meant "watch out for the water." If you were not quick enough, you could find yourself being showered with the contents of chamber pots hurled from tenement windows. Leaves or Moss as Toilet Paper Neither rich nor poor people had toilet paper. Poor people used leaves or moss to wipe their bottoms while the rich used lamb's wool instead.

MMA with Medieval Armor and Blunt Weapons
Every year there is a medieval style combat tournament that takes place in a castle in Europe; that means swords, full body armor, and shields. This past year we followed the American team to the event to get a sense of how intense the competition is. We saw major injuries, the kind of patriotic pride you see in the Olympics, and sparks fly - literally.

Many contemporary historians and schoolbooks portray the Middle Ages as a time of poverty, backwardness, and religious arbitrariness, from which the people were freed only by the Renaissance and later the Industrial Revolution. On the other hand, there have been a few historians who paint a much different picture and insist that the Middle Ages weren't as bad as some claim, and that in some ways they were better than most other historical periods. Here are 25 facts about this “dark” and controversial era that will help you make up your mind concerning which category you belong to: the lovers or the haters of Medieval times.

The times when knights fought in tournaments to win the heart of a fair lady are long gone now. And although many girls would think that's sad, actually there's no reason for remorse. Yeah, it all seems so beautiful and romantic, but in reality a medieval knight would be of no interest to a modern lady at all: should a modern woman meet a real knight, she would probably be filled with horror. You don't believe us? Well, here are ten terrifying facts about medieval knights.

15 Medieval Hygiene Practices That Might Make You Queasy

People of the past had a different idea of what hygiene meant, and you'll be shocked at what they did to stay "fresh."
Chamber Pots
Chamber pots were containers for collecting urine overnight. Back in old Edinburgh, you always have to be alert for the shout of "garde loo," which meant "watch out for the water." If you were not quick enough, you could find yourself being showered with the contents of chamber pots hurled from tenement windows.
Leaves or Moss as Toilet Paper
Neither rich nor poor people had toilet paper. Poor people used leaves or moss to wipe their bottoms while the rich used lamb's wool instead. Kings had a royal bum wiper known as the "Groom of the Stool."
Ceruse Lead Makeup Poisoned People
Ceruse was the foundation makeup choice for both men and women as it gave them a smooth, pale look. However, it contained lead that seeped into the body through the skin, leading to poisoning.
Nosegays When Walking in a Crowd
A nosegay was something to keep the smells at bay, usually held in the hand or on the wrists on a lapel. It could be a small bouquet of flowers or a sachet of dried flowers and herbs. People held it up to their noses while walking in a large crowd of undoubtedly smelly people.
People Bathed Using the Same Water
Public baths were popular during the 13th century. But because of the scarcity of firewood used to heat the bath, bathing became an expensive practice. Whole families and friends had to share a bath, or many of them would remain dirty.
Laundry Was Scoured in Lye Made of Ashes and Urine
Ancient Romans believed in the ability of urine to remove stains. Until the medieval times, people used lye made of ashes and urine in order to clean their clothes.
Privies and Garderobe
In Tudor houses, toilets were a bowl with a slab of wood and a hole carved at the top. Builders set the toilet into a recess or cupboard-like area called a garderobe. In castles, a slab of wood covered a hole in the floor that took waste products straight into the moat. Poor people didn't have the luxury of toilets, so they simply relieved themselves wherever they could and just buried the waste matter.
No Changing of Clothes
King James VI of Scotland wore the same clothes for months on end, even sleeping on them on occasion. He also kept the same hat on 24 hours a day until it fell apart. He didn't take a bath as he thought it was bad for his health.
Lice-Infested Wigs
Nits and lice were common back then, so members of the most wealthy class would shave their natural hair and wear periwigs instead. Unfortunately, even periwigs could be infested with nits, especially during plagues.
Mouse-y Eyebrows
People were incredible fashion-conscious during the medieval era. When their eyebrows did not look fashionable, they often masked them with tiny pieces of fur from a mouse.
Cesspits
Since the sewage system back then was not very advanced, people had to make do with burying much of their waste material in a cesspit in their cellar or garden. People should have emptied these cesspits regularly, but only a few of them did. The stench was overwhelming, especially during summer and winter. Imagine falling into one—which people sometimes did!
Infection from Rushes
One of the biggest sources of infection during the medieval times was the use of rushes or straws to cover up the natural dirt floor of a building. Although people often changed the top rushes, they did not do the same to the bottom layer, leading to many possible infection sources.
A Peculiar Cure to Baldness
A 17th century publication by Peter Levens instructed men on how to cure thinning hair and pattern baldness. Men were told to combine potassium salts with chicken droppings and then place the mixture on the affected area. If they wanted to remove unwanted hair from any area of the body, they had to make a paste consisting of eggs, strong vinegar, and cat dung, and then apply it to the area where they want to remove hair.
Lead-Lined Water Tanks
Even though the rich paid for private water companies for their drinking and other water needs, the water that they consumed was not exactly better than what peasants drank. The main water supply came from elm trunks and domestic pipes lined with lead. Water also required storage in large lead tanks and often became stagnant.
Bird Droppings on the Bed
Houses in the past didn't have the sturdy roofing that houses have today, so it wasn't unusual for bugs, pests, and droppings to fall onto the clean bedding. People then invented four-poster beds in order to keep a canopy that would catch all unpleasant stuff falling from the roof and not soil the bedding.

The Seventh Seal
When the moon turns to blood
The seas boil and rise
Man?s days grow few
And soon all will die
Seven is the number
The Holy Trinity
As the Seventh Seal is broken
So is tranquility
The words have been written
The course has been planned
The apocalyptic Scripture
Sentence of the damned
When the death book is opened
The seven trumpets sound
The Seventh Seal is broken
To Hell man is bound
The plagues will be many
As Death plays his game
A test of will and strength
A game that?s played in vain
For a fortunate few
The game is not in vain
To escape Death?s grasp
To live in other?s pain
At the close of the day
The game?s end is near
With Death?s wicked smile
Your fate is finally clear
The Dance of Death in silhoutte
On a hillside desolate
The figures move and sway
