For the anti-bathing fad, you'll want to look to the mid-late Renaissance (lemmy.world)

That would require them to know when Loyis XIV ruled and when the Medieval period was. The former is unlikely for most and the latter depends on when/where they were educated as no one used "Medieval" around me in college in the 1990s.

I'm French, so the fact that Louis XIV isn't a medieval king should be common knowledge. And the Middle Ages are taught in the CM1 (9-10 years old children) and 5e (13-14 years old) in history classes; and it's mentioned in French, art history, … thorough school.

If you are in France that's an appropriate reaction but outside of it that would be downright silly to expect people to know.
