I tried to read the BBC story but you have to have a subscription, unfortunately. However, I did notice that every news story out there seemed to stem from the Daily Mail story. And that is too bad.

What I find annoying is all of the headlines and news stories that say "Medieval women wore skimpy linen bras and knickers." Teena
