Round 3: Medieval Prostitution
Lines! We haz em! And they are
1. Morality in medieval France might hardly be recognised as such today.
2. 'Prostitute' wasn't always a dirty word.
3. Prostitution is almost certainly not actually the world's oldest profession.
4. Society in the medieval period was stabilised at the most fundamental level by a rigid class structure.
5. The medieval world is often seen as a well mannered, pious realm draped in flowing primary colours, however when one lifts the Victorian figleaf the world beneath is far earthier, less orderly and more complex.
6. The towns were not the only place in which venal amours could thrive.
