Medieval people are often portrayed in popular culture as being grubby and smelly, with few manners to recommend them. However, in reality, such uncouth behaviour would certainly have been frowned upon. Speaking with Emily Briffett, Dani\u00e8le Cybulskie delves into the historical handbook to pull out some of the top tips on social etiquette from the Middle Ages \u2013 and explores why these rules and ideals were so important at the time.<\/p>\n\n
