Yep, you heard me. Once a month we’ll be looking at the sex life of a monarch and how it impacted their reign. Yes, we’ll have fun, but each week will be based around a theme. For instance soon, we’ll look at Elizabeth I, and examine her weirdness around effectively attempting to grow her virginity back and why she felt it was necessary.
But first off, where else can we start but with Charles II. The Merry Monarch is famed for his bedroom antics, and in this episode, Charly White joins me to discuss how and why he got this reputation, whether or not he deserved it and how it has impacted our memory of him. From dodgy nannies to whether or not it is logistically possible to bite the manhood off a medieval monk mummy, least of all without catching something, tune in…
Re the last comment on this, the substack thing is happening because people really want to hear what you have to say.
Loved this! I had not heard the word “boink” since I was in college. I didn’t know the British had the same word with the same meaning.
