[post_page_title]Wiping the most royal of all behinds in the realm[/post_page_title]
Groom of the King’s Close Stool was one of the most coveted jobs in medieval England. The stool in question referred both to a boxed seat containing a fitted chamber pot and to the nature of the groom’s job.
Since it was unthinkable for a monarch to clean themselves after going number-two, a position was created whose purpose was cleaning the king’s royal behind. If that sounds like a job no one would want to do, think again. The groom would have the king’s confidence and could easily propel himself to greater positions within the court after finishing with the wiping.
