      I read it that way too and thought, “well they probably didn’t do laundry a lot back then, clean sheets would be something to look forward to”

      I’ll be honest I wasn’t quite getting the comments cause I didn’t think the middle ages had nearly as clean sheets even being a king…yeah read the same way. Makes way more sense now.

      You’re not the only one.

      I thought I was looking at a history meme and was expecting to find an explanation on how clean sheet night was some kind of medieval tradition :)
