[post_page_title]Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand outlaw bathing[/post_page_title]
To Americans, Ferdinand and Isabella may be most well-known for financing Christopher Columbus’s trip to the New World. They could, however, be just as famous for being radically against bathing. Devout Catholics both, the pair believed that bathing was a corrupt and “unreligous” practice that could only escalate to other immoral acts.
After the royal pair finished conquering Spain from the hands of Muslims, they forced them to give up bathing, destroying and outlawing Muslim bathhouses. Isabella herself was said to have taken two baths her entire life – once when she was born and another before she married.
