Original Note:
The Squanto book is mostly fictional, the other book mentioned in the article also fails to back up several claims, the article also mentions debunked myths, like Louis XIV bathing twice. Europeans have been bathing, washing, using soap, etc. for 1000s of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap#Roman_Empire https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2019/09/10/medieval-myths-bingo/#commonpeopleneverwash https://www.medievalists.net/2013/04/did-people-in-the-middle-ages-take-baths/ http://en.chateauversailles.fr/discover/history/key-dates/day-life-louis-xiv#mornings https://www.parismatch.com/Royal-Blog/Louis-XIV-prenait-des-bains-de-riviere-et-des-bains-de-chambre-1721971 https://www.persee.fr/doc/versa_1285-8412_2014_num_17_1_940 https://aproprementparler.wordpress.com/2015/12/11/pierre-louis-xiv-et-la-proprete-une-sale-affaire/ https://twitter.com/invitinghistory/status/1694769829146726812
