Water was the deadly substance in question. Many doctors of the 16th and 17th century would not have advised bathing on a regular basis. In Louis XIV's court, pregnant women were told NEVER to bathe because it was believed to relax the womb. With all this dirt building up, did royals really stink to high heaven? We have a rough idea of what royalty looked like, but what did they smell like?
16th century music is pretty boring. I much prefer the 17th century!

I have listened to this masterpiece so many times between yesterday and today that I cannot count.
