Pictures of medieval encampments show mostly round tents, with the occasional large double bell and a few more rectangular tents. See?
Lots of people want a tent that they can fit a double bed in. But if you do that with a circular tent you can end up with quite a large round tent.
You can do it easily if you put the bed between the poles of a double bell. Or even in a bell wedge, with a double bed low to the ground.
It seems that the goal of historical reenactment conflicts with the desires of the modern world.
I’m going to keep looking for encampment pictures.
