Actually bad hygiene and smell in earlier periods are a myth! It's just that their way of cleaning themselves was very different from modern ways.
And rest assured even if that wasn't the case OIs frequently depict regular bathing so it's safe to assume that at least amongst the nobility they share our hygiene methods
Is it wierd since I read "shall we bathe, your grace?"
I'm constantly thinking about hygiene and smell when I read other historical based work
