Yes, knights did wash their bodies, although the frequency and methods varied. In medieval times, bathing was not as common as it is today due to limited access to clean water and bathing facilities. However, knights would often use methods like sponge baths or rinsing off in rivers and streams, especially after battles or tournaments, to maintain hygiene and prevent infections. Additionally, wealthy knights had better access to bathing facilities and personal attendants to assist with their hygiene.
