      There is zero chance there weren’t chickens in the street. There are chickens in the street now. They are just too useful and easy an animal.

        The section on pigs and chickens in the streets starts doesnt claim no chickens were allowed to roam around. Just that most of them were kept contained because they were valuable to the owner. I guess something better phrased wouldn’t have fitted on the card.

      I mean, most of them ARE probably true. It depends on where in the world you were, but muddy streets are definitely a thing.

        It is about midieval Europe, the first paragraph in it points that out.

        The section on muddy streets clarifies paved roads and dirt roads with gutters existed. Its pushing back against the idea that all roads got muddy and not claiming that no roads got muddy.

            It’s not my graphic, I’m not the author. I was replying to the “it depends on where in the world you were” bit when I mentioned it was in europe.
