  • Résumé

  • We've been tying the knot for thousands of years in one way or another, but what did a medieval wedding look like?


    The church had very strict ideas around monogamy and sex in this period, which affected the rituals of a wedding day, AND night.


    What happened in the bed chambers of the newlyweds? Why was pleasure so important? And why were divorce courts so humiliating?


    Joining Kate today is author and historian Jacqueline Murray, to take us back to the Middle Ages.


    This episode was edited by Tom Delargy. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
