800 apr. J.-C. : Sans bain ni savon — L’hygiène des paysans médiévaux

How did peasants really live in Charlemagne's time? Not the romanticized version from TV series. The real version. The one of flea-infested straw, winters without water, grime that provided protection against the cold, and hygiene practices that defy preconceived notions. In this narrative documentary, we delve into the daily life of a Carolingian peasant around the year 800. We explore his relationship to his body, to water, to soap (which he didn't have), to skin diseases, lice, medicinal plants, and the religious beliefs that shaped every aspect of hygiene. We discover a world where washing one's hands was an act of faith as much as cleanliness, where children died by the thousands, and where human dignity survived despite extreme living conditions. This story draws on real historical sources: the polyptych of Abbot Irminon, Charlemagne's Capitulare de Villis, and the work of historians like Georges Vigarello and Georges Duby on medieval rural life. A sensory and emotional journey into a past that seems foreign to us... but which is more like us than we think. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 — A Peasant's Awakening in the Year 800 2:30 — Washing Without Soap: Morning Rituals 5:00 — Lice, Fleas, and Straw 7:30 — Winter Without Water: Surviving in Filth 10:00 — Religion and the Body: Pure or Impure? 1:00 PM — Diseases, Plants, and the Medicine of Humors 4:00 PM — Intimate Life: Natural Needs and Feminine Hygiene 6:00 PM — Dignity in the Mud #MiddleAges #Hygiene #MedievalHistory #Charlemagne #DailyLife #MedievalPeasants #Documentary #TrueHistory #Carolingians #Year800 #MedievalHygiene #history #historicaldocumentary #middle_ages #bedroomera #survival #dailylife
