(I got carried away with the dead cat reference because I am imagining they had to kill it to get its musk off of it) <BR/><BR/>According to my trusty dictionary, civet (the musk) comes from a small cat-like creature also called a civet. To be more precise...from the animals's anal scent glands. ick. <BR/><BR/>If anyone knows what a civet's bum smells like?...I would love to know.<BR/><BR/>Henry seems to have tried all sorts of ridiculous medical concoctions.Bearded Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182921236123895352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816215309027871000.post-524657445967840692008-10-01T07:22:00.000-07:002008-10-01T07:22:00.000-07:00What a fabulous post!!

And I will be buying Raucuos Royals for my daughter (maybe more for myself :)<BR/><BR/>I've always been interested in the cleanliness of the people throughout history, and I just can't imagine why they wouldn't want to smell good... Shudder... and I never knew about Henry VIII bathing with a dead cat, yikes! Maybe thats why his ulcer just kept getting worse...<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Eliza Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209596240914705136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816215309027871000.post-69903343240607721442008-09-30T17:22:00.000-07:002008-09-30T17:22:00.000-07:00Catherine, really interesting post. Do you happen ...Catherine, really interesting post. Do you happen to remember roughly when the bathing establishments were built? Just curious.<BR/><BR/>When I read about Henriette Anne's bathing parties, I kept thinking eeeewwww that river must have been stinky.

In Henry VIII's court the Groom of the Stool (that name just cracks me up) was a coveted position because it gave you privledged access to the king. They also had additional responsibilities besides wiping the king's bottom.<BR/><BR/>The royal butt kisser in Louis's court was still an honored position but the responsibilites were as you said not as...um varied.<BR/><BR/>Louis created all sort of ridiculous positions that he doled out to lucky courtiers instead of having the nobility inheriting them like they had done in the past. By enticing all the nobles to court and creating this reward system, he not only ensured loyalty but also always had an eye on everyone. <BR/><BR/>The old godfather saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" was a maxim Louis took very seriously. <BR/><BR/>thanks for commenting!Bearded Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182921236123895352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816215309027871000.post-18367086458671096042008-09-29T05:47:00.000-07:002008-09-29T05:47:00.000-07:00Great post.
