They were filthy and miserable, compared to modern people, obviously not to the extent of TV portrayals, but they weren’t actually able to take shower every day or have 5 day work week and work days of ~8 hours.

Whereas full time work (in the US anyway) amounts to 2,080 hours annually.

This is a myth, FYI. Those times are kinda equivalent to taxes+rent. After those 1440 h for your local lord, you still need to run your own farm to feed yourself.
