Sex and beds have a long, interwoven history. Here on Betwixt we often cover sex history, but we haven’t done a deep dive into the history of where it’s often done... in bed.
So today we have something a little different for you, here’s an episode all about the history of beds, and it’s a story that will take us from medieval France, to 17th century Hertfordshire and beyond.
It’s an episode from our friends over at the Curious History of Your Home podcast, which you can follow here.
Betwixt the Sheets will be back with its usual programming on Tuesday.

Anne Boleyn was smart, sophisticated and had SO much charisma.
She kept Henry VIII waiting for SEVEN YEARS before they finally got together, and even then it was on her terms.
So where did it all go wrong for Anne Boleyn? Were any of the wild accusations made against her true? And what do her last words tell us about her?
Joining Kate today is the magnificent Tracy Borman, author of Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Changed History, to help us uncover the real Anne Boleyn.

The Real Cleopatra

Cleopatra. One of the most famous people from history, and remembered for her beauty, power and scandalous love affairs. But how accurate is her legacy?
Did you know she married not one, but two of her brothers? Or that she could speak eight languages? Or that she lived closer to the invention of the iPhone, than the construction of the pyramids (what?!).
Egyptologist Sarah Parcak joins Kate to get to the bottom of who the REAL Cleopatra was.
