There was such at Blenheim Palace where they showed a bed with the Kings mistress with a look of shock as the King was banging on the door. Hiding in the wardrobe was John Churchill (later he became Duke of Marlborough). There are many tales of bed hopping in medieval times!!

The rot really set in with him. Llewellyn hanged him for being out of bounds in LLew's wife's bed. (Lady Joan was the King's daughter by the way). Indeed the Broases only rose to fame after an earlier one married into the Marshall family (via William Marshall's daughter Eve; Will being the "best knight who ever lived" as some claim). (They never said that about me ! :( ) Its an odd crew one gets when begetting twix the Welsh and anyone else. Just think, if he had kept to his own bed the castle might be in better nick.
