Here also in many cases were box-beds for the older members of the family.
On high days and holidays, such as wed- dings, christenings, and the visits of dis- tinguished guests, the living-room was dis- placed by the " great room, " in which the family's treasures were kept, and its best decorative hangings were displayed. Among these none were more notable than the great bed, called in some countries " the heaven bed, " because of its canopy. On this bed immense sums were expended, the finest ...Flemish, Italian and oriental fabrics being employed in its curtains and its canopy. Queens and princesses vied with each other in their outlay on their beds ; and in wills of that age astonishing sums are mentioned as 90 LATER TOWN-HOUSE having been spent on them. In earlier times this great room was on the ground-floor; but to get more space it was afterward placed on the second story. The facilities that story offered for several bedrooms were not em- ployed to the extent we should expect. The old idea of the family sleeping together seems to have clung to them, and to have made them crowd into one or a few rooms at night.
