Sometimes history scares us, and sometimes it surprises us.

- How queens and ordinary women gave birth;

- Why it was beneficial to have many children;

- About the most common diseases and how they were treated;

- Why not all girls were courted before marriage;

- About experiments in intimate life and brothels;
- About public baths, toilets and attitudes to hygiene.

It's time to look at history with a fresh eye, without general facts and boring topics.
