Tales from the Middle Ages: Sex, Smut and Scatology by James Lovatt – Newcastle Castle

This shocking and entertaining talk holds nothing back as it reveals obscene, vulgar and x-rated stories from the medieval period.

Expert James Lovatt will introduce you to ‘fabliaux’ – obscene tales that were enjoyed by all classes. Expect to hear stories of inept husbands, domineering wives, greedy friars and insatiable nuns, with no topic off limits!

Aptly taking place in the Black Gate of Newcastle Castle, you’ll get a glimpse into the medieval period that very few have seen before.
