The Middle Ages (80) : Stable boy and Princess

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

When a royal princess went on a journey, a whole lot of servants went along.
The stable boy had not only to care for the horses, but also to wash the hair of the princess if needed.

Did you know that a mixture of goat milk and herbs was used as ‘shampoo’ ?
