“Sex-crazed” nuns’ remains discovered by archaeologists

Orgies and a “dishonest” life

Archaeologists in Oxford, discovered a series of 92 skeletons in digs. The peculiar fact, however, is that among them is a team of “Sex-crazed nuns”.

 

According to the findings dating back to 1110 A.D., 25 of the skeletons were men, 35 were women, and 29 cannot be determined.

 

The archaeologists published photos recently, explaining that some of the bodies were buried face down. This is not random, as it was a practice signifying that the person lived a “dishonest” life. According to historians, the nearby nunnery was known for its sex orgies. The main nun who used to run these orgies was Katherine Wells, who was also rumored to have borne a child with a local priest.

 

Another historical reference dating to 1445 stated that the nunnery was unguarded and people would enter and sexually assault nuns. Some were scared enough to be sleeping en masse in a walled-off space.

 

The rumors of the nunnery was so risqué that Henry the 8th shut it down in 1542, probably also spurred by the Anglican-Catholic break.
