Many commonly accepted facts relating to present day life originated in Middle Age England.

Cost awareness has been issue number one forever. The 12 member jury goes back to a "jury" of 12 "reasonable" citizens which was used to decide disputes. Innumerable bases of current law and governance were rooted in practices from that time. Why are barbers today licensed by states? They can do minor "surgical" procedures, such as lancing boils (disgusting but sometimes necessary). Why is that? They were in the forefront of medical advances during those times. From 700 years ago that status has endured to this day! yall no what i am tired of giving yall information please stop being mean to hey what you Dion hey what yah Dion just wqanted Ron kno w so tel;l emw whata re u Dion jusrt phey wha\hey what hey what u diion justywghdbwschbcgjsdbcghd\

Because medieval people were religious, they believed that cleanliness was next to godliness, or the condition of the body was a reflection of the condition of the soul. The result was that medieval women tended to be very clean. Women sometimes ate apart from men so the men would not see them with greasy fingers.
