The standard bed for the rich in the later Middle Ages is elaborately curtained and canopied. For a traveling court the hangings are moved from place to place.
Rooms perform more than one function.
Frequently a great bed is placed in the corner of the main living room. Here the room has been partitioned by fabric hanging from a rod. The bed curtains have been looped up into pear-shaped bundles for the daytime. The bed is on a dais. Next to it is a chest with linens and on the left a raised cupboard.
