So, when did people start taking daily baths anyway? Didn't they used to only bathe once a week or so?

I usually have 2 per day, but have ben known to take more, depending on what I have been doing.
I am VERY GLAD that I didn't live in the timeframe of the article below.

Apropos of "Smelling Sahibs learnt to bathe in India" by Manohar Malgonkar (April 5), British social history reveals how the English were averse to the idea of a daily bath. That is why they used perfumes and pomades to get rid of body odour.
Peter, the Hermit of the First Crusade, had "no water touch his body for forty years". Henry IV opined that those who had been conferred state honour should bathe once in a lifetime. Queen Elizabeth bathed only once a month while the Spanish Queen Isabella washed her body twice in her life. Louis XII imposed a ban on bathing.
Bathing was officially introduced in England by Eleanot of Castle. Surprisingly, the 1600-built Palace of Versailles does not contain a single bathroom! But, interestingly, Napoleon Bonaparte gifted a bath tub to Josephine.
