I wonder how accurate the paintings of those times were though, and to what point they changed the person's looks to match a certain ideology/trend.
Because they all look the same.
600 years ago the commoners didn't have proper water to drink.. I don't think we'd be clean enough to be hot or even healthy..
And maybe that's why this guy was The Handsome...
Depends on what the standards were back then. Maybe a long nose and narrow mouth were considered an attractive trait, I dunno. Remember, a skin so pale you could see veins through it was considered super hot at one point in history.
Or maybe he was one of the few people with access to basic hygiene. Not smelling like shit sure does raise one's attractiveness.
He married Joanna of Castile (aka Joanna the Mad, Juana la Loca). After he died, she was full of grief and refused to part from his dead body and continued to keep it for a while.he was probably no longer handsome.
