Det är bra att komma ihåg varför engelsmän hatade danskarna under medeltiden och varför hygien är viktig

I början av 1200-talet skrev krönikören John av Wallingford (d. 1258) om danemordet på Sankt Brictius dag, 13 november år 1002, och om varför det var lämpligt att slakta danskar på detta sätt:

The Danes made themselves too acceptable to English women by their elegant manners and their care of their person. They combed their hair every day, bathed every Saturday, and even changed their garments often. They set off their persons by many such frivolous devices. In this manner, they laid siege to the virtue of the married women and persuaded the daughters, even of the nobles, to be their concubines.
