Question

How often did kings Louis the 13th and the 14th bathe?

Answer 1

Louis XIV had leading nobles attending him from the time His Majesty arose throughout the day's activities.  However, while they helped with every part of the King's dressing regime, it didn't include a bath since Versailles lacked any plumbing.  Indeed, 17th century Frenchmen felt that bathing left the body vulnerable to disease.  

The upper-classes of England during the late 17th and early 18th century beginning changing their minds about bathing as they started to view it as a way to restore health as did their counterparts in much of Europe.  Resort spas, like Baden Baden and Bath, became popular with the aristocracy and the rising merchant class.   Indeed, Jane Austen sets one of her novels in Bath where taking the spa treatment was very much a social activity.  By the 19th century, bathing (and the Saturday night bath) became an accepted practice in Europe and America as physicians touted the benefits of cleanliness.

Answer 4

Not often;back in those times people did not know the importance of cleanliness. The royals may have bathed more often than the commoner,but not only were people less clean,their clothes were as well.There were no dry cleaners back then,and the servants tried to keep clothes as clean as possible,but couldn't get things spotless

In Costume History classes,I found out that people often wore  their chemises(underclothes) until they rotted on their bodies.A peasant may take a bath once a year,or for special occasions.The wealthy could afford to be more clean,but still weren't frequent bath-takers.
