    Just here to say that yes, medieval people did wash, usually in cold water in clean streams or rivers, or with a bowl of water, and many people would use soap as well. Also, they cleaned their teeth most of the time with a cloth or a stick called 'miswak'. They would also chew mint leaves to have better breath. The fact that they didn't eat loads of sugar meant they didn't have rotten teeth. So yes, they were clean!

Were the Crusaders, a group of warriors in foreign land who travelled many kilometres to fight a holy war, dirty? Probably, unfortunately portable showers hadn't been invented back then.

    Peasants and serfs didn't worked all day. They started early and finished late, but they had a lot of breaks in between, so a real full day of work was considered two work days. They also had a lot of festivals and religious holidays. It was the industrial revolution that increased the average work time (to around 16 hours), as production demands increased.

    Americans don't seem to appreciate that in north Europe there are a lot more daylight hours in summer than winter. So a lot more outside work got done in June than in December. There was little illumination in winter other than a household fire and candles were expensive - so what could you do in all the dark hours? It probably helped to keep the birthrate high :)

One of the believed reasons why England was the focus for conquering by the Vikings. Instead you would have more focus on fishing, foraging, wildcraft and animal husbandry. That being said, just like you mentioned, the winter times meant less work hours. A lot of people today do not really understand how dark it actually gets when you do not have light pollution.

For the first time in his life, he had a real bed, warm showers and was paid for his work, rather than given food scraps the landlord wouldn't even feed the pigs with! However, as you probably imagined, he got out of the frying pan into the fire and got shot in the outskirts of Stalingrad, sent home and recovered just in time to be sent to Normandie where he got hit by a bomb causing permanent hearing loss and loss of sense of smell and several inoperable foreign bodies...

The same is true for the dozen star-forts in the area. What pains me to see is how they neglect the Fachwerk/Waddle and daub/Timberframe buildings. My old home had its wood rotten after only a decade, whereas those Fachwerk stood proud for half a millennia and now I see them rotting, or governments force them to isolate the walls for environmental reasons, which in the long term damages the structure!

    No point killing an escaped serf, you want them to work for you after all and a dead serf is no use! Punishments would probably include something like branding for a first offence. People weren't imprisoned for offences in the medieval period, that costs money. Jails were just holding pens before trial. Punishments could thus be fines, branding or other mutilation (ears cut off etc) or hanging, not imprisonment.

    The idea of the immobile peasant, never leaving the village is not 100% true and a modern interpretation of peasant life. Although they rarely moved unless forced, many times, villages would travel to other nearby villages to trade and barter, or hold sporting competitions, special work involving building churches or castles, etc. While they weren't as mobile as us today, they still got around a bit while not technically "moving away" from the land.
