1st Answer:
Yes. It was considered an evil thing to take a bath in the Middle Ages. However, many lords and ladies did it.
2nd Answer:
During the Middle Ages, people were very clean and washed often. They believed that cleanliness was next to godliness and that the condition of a person's soul could be seen from how he tended to the needs of his body. The idea that medieval people were dirty and smelly came from the later people of the Renaissance and may make for interesting stories, but does not represent any profound truth.

Which time period would you preferred to have lived in the Renaissance or the middle ages explain your reasons why?
Personally, I would have preferred to have lived during the Middle Ages. One reason is that people in the Renaissance looked down on those of the Middle Ages as barbarians, but the people of the Renaissance were more superstitious and less rational. They pursued witch hunts and suppressed science in ways that were not done in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, we tend to buy the propaganda of the Renaissance, partly because they were the only ones who could make the comparison - the people of the Middle Ages did not know what was coming. There was a lot of activity in the Middle Ages in engineering, science, philosophy, education, and mathematics that we little of today. The people of the Renaissance tried to work in these fields, but took a less practical and more cosmological point of view, resulting in ecclesiastical suppression. The food and medicine in the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages were no worse that that of the Renaissance. The people of the Middle Ages believed that cleanliness was next to godliness, so they were clean. They also believed that bad air, with bad smells, could carry diseases. The people of the Renaissance covered their bad smells with perfume and called the Middle Ages stinky. The people of the Middle Ages believed in their religion and believed a person was no better than his word. The Renaissance produced Macchiavelli and people who thought he was just dandy. One thing the Renaissance had was a greater proportion of houses that had fireplaces and chimneys.

Why was the government bad in the middle ages?
The question assumes the government was bad in the Middle Ages, and this was not always true. King Louis IX of France is said to have sat under a tree outside Paris, on regular intervals, to hear whatever anyone who wished to speak with him might have to say. A serf could approach the king and express his concerns. I would not have called that bad government. When the government was bad, it was for the same reasons governments are bad today, because they are run by bad people.
