 凳子上的新郎

当然是历史上最令人厌恶的工作之一,"国王大便的马夫"(简称马夫)是亨利八世统治时期设立的一个角色,负责监督和协助国王的排便。

凳子 "一词指的是一种便携式坐便器,这种坐便器会一直带在身边,还有水、毛巾和洗脸盆。 为了确保他以最高效率开展工作,凳子的马夫也会密切关注国王的饮食和用餐时间,并会根据国王的预测动作安排他的一天。

也许令人惊讶的是,通常是贵族的儿子或乡绅的成员被授予这项工作。 随着时间的推移,他们更多的是充当国王的私人秘书,并得到高薪和一些巨大的好处,如在每个宫殿的住宿权,君主的旧衣服,以及拥有任何使用过的寝室家具的选择。

当然,人们可能希望为这样的角色得到丰厚的回报,特别是如果新郎真的亲自清洗皇室的后宫。 但公平地说,没有历史记录表明新郎会走这些极端,尽管他几乎肯定会在每个场合帮助君主脱衣服。

在最享受这种个人关怀的君主中,"疯狂 "的国王乔治三世在整个统治期间雇用了最多的马夫;总共有九位,包括后来成为英国首相的约翰-斯图亚特!

令人惊讶的是,凳子上的新郎(从斯图亚特时代起被称为凳子上的新郎)的角色一直延续到1901年国王爱德华七世决定废除它。
