It depended on the area. For an extremist view, in Cluny, monks only bathed twice a year, on Easter and Christmas, and had to keep their privates covered at all times. On the other spectrum, Hildegarde of Bingen loves saunas and wrote about what herbs to blend and pour over the head, or mix with water and toss onto heated stones for a steam bath. Many monasteries built fountains to wash in. The belief that no one bathed in the middle ages in a myth. Writings of the time, woodcarving, paintings, and poetry show that bathing was a huge part of medieval life.
It's a myth that, in medieval times, a person did not bathe, that bathing was evil, etc. One writer, Jerome of the early Church, was a little loony about bathing and insisted women should not bathe naked because it was shameful for a woman, and virgins should not bathe with non-virgins or they could become pregnant or something inane like that. On the other hand, Pope Gregory the Great encouraged bathing every Sunday. Hildegarde of Bingen wrote about herbs to mix and pour over the head in saunas. Many Christians turned ancient pagan bathing areas into churches, with the natural spring being a purification in the name of Christ. Cleanliness was next to Godliness, after all. There were some extremists who insisted a person should only bathe for Easter and Christmas, and monks in Cluny followed this, including bathing clothed! Such advice by zealous moralists was generally ignored by the public. What the Catholic Church really had against bathing was the fact that public bath houses were mixed sexes, and people tended to indulge in hot baths. People washed their hands in rose water before every meal. Hand, teeth, and faces had to be clean every morning. Monasteries set up fountains to wash their hands. There are artworks of nobles who would soak together in hot tubs with their meals on floating tables. Some hosted banquets within a large bathing pool. Woodcarvings show outdoor bathing was a social event. Burghers went to the local bath house naked so his clothes would not be stolen. I'm sure the Church was not happy about that! Many writings of that time spoke of knights being bathed by the lord's daughter when they came to visit a castle. One poet spoke of a lord who had a golden bath tub with silver pipes to bring in the water. Paris had a Guild of Bathhouse Keepers and hired criers to announce to the city when the water was hot. One diary from 1511 shows a man named Lucas Rem took 127 baths within 20 days. He must have been a real neat freak! After the Black Plague, Europe split on the idea of bathing. Some turned to the extremists ideas and insisted bathing must have washed away a layer of protection against the disease. Other places, notably Italy, began cracking down on cleanliness, suggesting cleaning with vinegar. Some Slavic towns even had laws that a peasant must visit the bath house once a week or else pay a fine. Obviously, although some Church extremists insisted bathing was evil, the Medieval world was, for the most part, a cleanly one.
