I feel like the cross section of “people who knew King Louis XIV refused to take baths” and “people who don’t know even approximately when Louis XIV ruled” would be relatively small. Is that not the case?
But it’s something I saw with a lot of subject: as soon as something bad occurred before the 19th century, it’s in the Middle Ages in the mind of most people.

Apparently not, at least not in France.
