Welcome back once again to Bertwixter Sheets. Hello! Fancy seeing you round here. Do come in and take a seat. But before we go any further, I do have to tell you, once again, and from now until the end of time, this is an adult podcast spoken by adults to other adults about adult things in an adulty way, covering the range of what subjects need to be an adult to.
Right, on with the show! 🎵 There are so many unwritten rules in life. Don't play TikToks loud out in public. That is a big one. Face outwards in a lift. Don't scroll through photos when someone passes you their phone, ever. And don't shag your mate's siblings. Just don't do that. It's weird. Because if you do, it can all get very, very messy indeed.
Thank you. Hello and welcome back to Betwixt the Sheets, the history of sex, scandal and society with me, Kate Lister. Getting on the wrong side of the Tudors is famously a bad idea. It will make you considerably shorter if nothing else. But in this episode, we are meeting somebody who managed to avoid that fate somehow and instead was banished forever by none other than Queen Elizabeth I. And to introduce us to this Tudor scallywag, Lettuce Knollis, I'm joined by the wonderful Estelle Perank, who, as you will hear, is not Lettuce's biggest fan. Right, get your ruffs on and let's do it.

Well, hello and welcome to Betwixt the Sheets. Welcome back to Betwixt the Sheets. It's only Estelle Perron.
How are you doing, lovely? Thank you for having me again. I think for today's topic, I'm really hyped up. It's going to be spicy.
Oh, that's great because this isn't a name I know very much about.
It's the type of people I just can't stand. The audience needs to understand why and then we're going to get into it and we're going to talk about her. But yeah, I really can't stand her.
You can't stand her? Well, this is great because you can now, you can basically indoctrinate me into why I should hate this person as well. So what's her name? Let's give her a full name, first of all.
Yeah, so we're talking here about Lettice Nollis. And first of all, I think I'm going to give you a bit of background because the background is actually very important to why then I do not like her. It's a good name though, Lettice Nollis. I don't know. I feel like salad. Sorry. Okay. I told you I can't speak.
You really can't. Can you? You really hate it. Right. Fuck. Yeah. Okay. Let's go. Stupid salad named bitch.
That's how I feel. It's been 600 years. Right, go. It's crazy. Yeah, it is insane because she's dead inside. But you're going to understand. So first of all, who is she? She's someone very important, actually, at Elizabeth I court. She's born in 1543. She is 10 years younger than Elizabeth. That's important for the story. And she's a cousin to Elizabeth. Let me take you through the family tree. Okay. She's the daughter of Catherine Carey. And Catherine Carey is the daughter of Mary Boleyn. Right. So she's a Boleyn. She's from the Boleyn side. Her father is Francis Nollis. So there's an alliance of families and stuff. And it is true that, you know, when people say that Elizabeth, that's another thing that really annoys me.
When they say, you know, like she was two and seven months, she didn't really realize what's going on. And, you know, children don't really remember much. I really disagree with it. I think we remember. There's more research on this. It's just we can't access memories the same way we do at a certain age because our brain is fully developed.
