Food Stench
Food waste was another huge issue that King Henry VII faced. Rotting food was often left in hallways and rooms by attendants and guests, which certainly did not help the health or hygiene of the home. There was also a terrible smell left by the food almost constantly. It had to be gross in there...
Smelling the Flowers
King Henry tried to create a life hack to cover the smell of pee and old food. He had fresh flowers brought in around the clock, hoping that the scent of lilacs and daffodils could cloak the scent of the people. This didn't work, obviously, and eventually, the smell got so bad that people had to evacuate!
