    Medieval Sex Work

    Despite Christianity coming in hot and heavy in the medieval period, sex work was thriving. In many places it was legal, even. In this second episode in our mini-series exploring sex work through history, Kate is joined by the legend of sex worker history, Ruth Karras. What did a medieval brothel look like? How did sex workers dress? And why does the word 'spinster' mean sex worker? This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.

    Childbirth isn't for the faint-hearted at the best of times, let alone in the medieval period.  What was a birthing room like at this time in history?

    The Murderous Affairs of King James

    Against the paranoid backdrop of the Scottish witch trials, a murder plot involving King James and some of his lovers took place.

How does this situation create a conflict of interests for King James VI & I? Joining Kate today is the wonderful Gareth Russell, author of Queen James: A New History About the Life and Loves of Britain’s First King, James Stuart, to help us unravel this twisty and tantalising murder plot.
