Make that 4 theories, never heard that one before. But I don't think it correct, even the royalty in that day didn't bath more than once or twice a year from what I have read (they thought it dangerous to the health), and the wives didn't work in the fields many times, and none of them worked in the fields in the winter. And you had inkeepers, blacksmiths, merchants and soldiers, none of which worked in the fields.
