Because the poorer people had to do work, it made them more exposed to all the diseases which is why so many of them died. The People of Medieval England lived in houses which had no ventilation and straw roofs. They were extremely un-hygienic

look, Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire, England, seems more like an abandoned ruin than an information-packed historical museum. Guests mill around the ruins, feel the stones, peer out between small tower windows, and stroll across the green hill into the gardens.
