Betwixt The Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society

Incest & Royalty: House of the Dragon & Beyond

48 min • 19 juli 2024

With the House of the Dragon featuring *that* incest scene, we thought we'd look into the real history of sexual relations within families.


Has it always been taboo? How have the necessary degrees of separation between partners grown and shrunk over the years? And why were so many royal families keen on familial relations in the past...Hapsburg chin anyone?


Kate is Betwixt the Sheets with Brian Connolly to discuss the history of incest, an episode suggested to us by a listener. You can read more of Brian's work here.


WARNING: There is adult content and explicit words in this episode.


Senior producer: Charlotte Long. Producer: Sophie Gee & Stuart Beckwith. Mixed by Siobhan Dale.
