The Suprising Truth About Beauty Standards in the Middle Ages

“Middle aged men are the hottest” - middle aged male writer in medieval times 😂

[@653j521]

Was it their money or social standing that made them the hottest?

[@user-sg4ov7ng4h]

​@@653j521im thinking maybe it was made by men or its related to physical activites, maybe the become stronger or its the climax of themselves, like athletes. (A lot of times we think 30s but ive seen 40 yo dancers)

[@annakalicka3430]

@@653j521 I'm guessing their patronage to the poets describing the standards of beauty for both female and male was a main reason for pushing middle aged men as "hottest" - they could afford to pay for their views to be presented as "objective truths" - if objective truth was of any value anyway.😁

[@graphiquejack]

I think it’s that men needed to be more established and able to provide for a family, and most younger men, especially if they weren’t firstborn, probably weren’t able to do that. As for physical appearance, we don’t have a lot of historical women writing about what they found sexy in men. But apparently Lancelot was a stud… lol

I mean they used a man in his 40s (Momoa) as an example for male attractiveness themselve.

The recipe for soap is simply a mixture of potassium hydroxide and oil/fat. The potassium hydroxide comes from mixing the ashes of a fire ("pot ash" = potassium) dissolved in water. By itself, the straight lye dissolves skin, fat and protein. Mixing it with a fat or oil and water in the correct proportion decreases the lye's ability to eat the skin from your body to a substance that allows dirt, oils (body odor), and other filth to be dissolved in water and washed away.

[@paultuerena]

It’s not quite that simple, there is a process that occurs called saponification

[@db_37205]

@@paultuerena I just described saponification, the mixture of lye with an oil leading to combined properties of both oil and water where the surface tension of water is lessened while the "soap" allows the mixing of both oils and water so that water can literally wash both the dirt and oils away.

I worked as a volunteer on archaeological digs years ago, and the palaeontologist was able to fairly accurately date remains to before or after the 1500s (when sugar became widely available from the americas) by looking at the teeth of a skull. Basically, after refined sugar was introduced, dental hygiene goes to hell

[@warellis]

Prior to the introduction of sugar, teeth generally wore down due to millstone pieces in grain and bread

[@onelazysusan]

The "millihelen" was the unit of female beauty in the Guinness book from my teens. It meant beauty sufficient to launch one ship. The origin was Helen of Troy's beauty being enough to launch 1,000 ships. Edit: I think the Guinness editors may have been throwing a joke into the book.

[@h0rriphic]

naw a millihelen is totally a legit unit of measurement

[@Patriot1789]

That is “hysterical.” A roaming uterus for men?

[@EllenACook]

How would one measure a milihelen, I wonder? Take pictures of the lady in question to a series of navy ships, and begin canvassing the crews to find out how many would be willing to launch their ship for her? But then one would have to factor in that modern ships are much larger than those in the Bronze Age, and scale the ships accordingly.

[@tamsin1969]

I am ecstatic that you've written your book, and loved watching this. In my personal time, I've studied gender inequality and social conditioning, for over 30 years, and you're so right that what is deemed sexy and appropriate for women, is a social construct, created by powerful men. It essentially keeps women in their place and grovelling for acceptance from the "men above them". I refuse to bow to societal pressure that tells me I am somehow wrong, or "less than", if I don't fit the current standard of what is beautiful. We need to get this message across loud and clear. These days it's more about capitalism and consumerism, ensuring women spend a fortune in order to look beautiful. I think there's a lot more men these days that are far more accepting of our less than perfect bodies than we realise. Mature, more spiritually focused men anyway. And who wants a shallow man who only cares if he can see through the gap in your thighs, or if you have big boobs. But this topic needs to be discussed so women will stop hating on themselves, for being who they naturally are. This is a subject that women have been so affected by, they have caused themselves physical harm and even death, in the pursuit of "beauty". Well I say FUK THAT!

Organic distilled rosewater is an ancient cosmetic product that I love. It smooths, moisturizes and softens skin without adding any grease or oil, and it smells wonderful. I can’t stand greasy hands, especially working with silk fabrics as I often do. Or those horrible candy, fruity, muffin smells they put in everything nowadays, give me florals instead.

[@alinashirinian2485]

I second this! Rosewater is amazing both as a cosmetic product and as a culinary ingredient.

[@VS-re1sr]

I love learning about ancient beauty because the mix of "why don't we do this anymore?" and "this is why we do not do this anymore" is just insane. Caring for hair by brushing out the dead skin cells to clean hair seems to be coming back in the form of the curly girl method. Officially we no longer whiten skin with lead, mercury, or arsenic unless you find a lightening cream that actually works. We no longer drip belladonna in our eyes to achieve the appearance of deadly desire. We only inject neurotoxins (botox) in our faces and take a lot of unregulated pills/powders/potions of unknown content to acheive the perfect body, so clearly we have come a long way.

Depilation wasn't always just to please men. In those days, lice were endemic, so getting rid of hair prevented cooties. And prostitutes definitely had to get rid of pubic hair for hygienic reasons as well as easy cleaning between customers.

[@mtngrl5859]

One of the great beauties of the medieval age was Eleanor of Aquitaine. Like many other beautiful and/or powerful women she had her share of rumors. But this idea that one had to "young" to be the epitome of beauty, is not correct. While she was indeed young when she married the King of France, by the time she married Henry ll of England, she was 30, he was 18. At that time she was still renowned as one of the most beautiful women in existence. They proceeded to have I believe 8 children together and the last one was born when she was 44. Her son King John married the beautiful Isabelle of Angouleme. She was a widow in mid-twenties, and remarried at 30 and proceeded to have 8-10 children with her new husband. Fertility and beauty were more intertwined in that era than the present day.

[@grannyannie2948]

Perhaps good health was also seen as beautiful. Eleanor lived to be quite old. Before having children with Henry she had two daughters to the King of France. She gave them up to marry Henry. Henry also had two illegitimate sons to Rosemund.

[@mtngrl5859]

@@grannyannie2948 I think good health was highly desirable in a royal wife, it would allow one to produce more offspring, an essential element in a royal spouse. In terms of Eleanor, she brought a highly valuable asset being the Duchy of Aquitaine. While she married her first husband, the King of France, when she was 15 and in 14 years of marriage she only had 2 children. Her husband was known to be highly religious & not inclined to be overly sexual, so at the time of their divorce it was uncertain how fertile she would be with another spouse. Louis himself was not able to have a male heir (essential in France due to Salic law of inheritance) until his third marriage. Eleanor and Henry ll had a more lusty marriage, so she surprised many with giving birth to 6 children.

I just want to know what the public bathhouse was like for an average person! A pool? Individual tubs? How often were the tubs being cleaned? Was somebody just going back and forth with a bucket? How were they heating the water?

[@Neenerella333]

Many of the famous bath/bain/springs towns had geothermal springs. They could even divert just a small stream of super hot into cold baths, for the tepid ones.

[@PLuMUK54]

The Medieval Stews, as they were called, had large half-barrel tubs. They could be small enough for two, or large enough to hold group of 6 or more. There were public rooms with several tubs, and private rooms with one. This was not for modesty, but because Stews were often used as a place to carry out business or to network. People usually sat on a low stool, and there would be floating trays to hold food and drink. To protect the user from rough edges, towels were draped over the sides and into the water. To keep the heat in, there were often hung around with curtains or a tent like structure. Sometimes the larger Stews had large pools where people could swim. The use of chimneys was adopted quickly by the Stews, allowing rooms to be kept warm. Water was usually heated by fires. Smaller Stews would have large metal pots, think witches cauldrons, and water would be transferred by bucket. More elaborate Stews would use the same method of heating, but the water would be transferred by pipes. Taps were around at this time, think wine and beer barrels. Apparently, the water was changed regularly. If it were not, then it would be difficult to reheat it. If a tub was emptied, they might part fill it with cold water, then place heated metal in it to warm the water. I imagine this only happened with the smaller tubs. They were probably far more hygienic than the Roman style baths which still existed in a few places, and which were cleaned less often.

Beauty is for sure a construct. As a teen in the late 90s, if someone told me that in the 2020s there would be fashion models that had visible curves I would have told them they were dreaming. Back then any kind of female A-list celebrity was extremely thin. I don't know what they ate so I'm not going to speculate but suffice to say, they did not look young, fit and healthy. It was a very unrealistic and unsustainable physical standard that really was considered the height of excellence. It makes you think about other bizarre trends throughout the ages. Corsets, white faces, feet binding, collar bone sinking to lengthen necks. A lot are the opposite of healthy and actually are designed to make women look deformed. Less human. Like a woman in her natural state isn't good enough. I don't think on their own men would agree with these odd standards, or women, but it's funny how we all buy into with enough peer pressure. The moral I guess is to get to know people on the inside and what they look like on the outside will become your standard.
