Most houses had windows, but most houses did not have glass in the windows. Instead, the windows were open, and could be closed with a shutter. Many houses had window-like holes high in the walls to vent smoke from the fire on the hearth, because they had no chimney, and such vents were not closed for weather because they had to stay open for the fire. It was not what we would call cozy.
Rich people, of course, had windows, and these often had glass in them.
