In most cases they weren’t that bad, the population wasn’t high enough for it to get too dirty and most people had plenty of living space. Only in later era do cities become dirty and extremely overpopulated. The exception would be sieges, but in them all people would suffer to some extent.

Interesting - I’ll definitely look all this up. Thank you for setting up some fun YouTube/Wikipedia rabbit holes for me!
That’s because the idea of the middle ages attend from the imagination of people in the nineteenth century. This is when people started theorizing about history.
Cities in the nineteenth century were absolutely filthy, because of industrialization and were busting at the seams.
Now they learned about this ‘dark ages’ when people were backwards and uneducated. For sure conditions were worse and more filthy collar to our current enlightened society, no?
I never thought this homemade costume would be relevant again…
