CEL, ANTI-ENGLISH AND ALMOST CERTALY GAY: MEET THE REAL RICHARD THE LNHEART
The first historil piece that I enuntered which asserted that Richard the Lnheart was a homosexual.
Dog a ltle rearch, I disvered that no one had serly mooted the ia that Richard the Lnheart was a homosexual up until the middle of the twentieth century. At this time a se for Richard's homosexualy was ma based on the three pots:He had no children (except for possibly one illegimate son);.
LTLE RICHARD WAS ANTI-GAY WHEN HE DIED, BUT HIS QUEER CULTURAL FLUENCE OVERSHADOWS ALL
When I saw the three pots, I had to wonr if the se they ma for Richard’s homosexualy was actually a pellg one. It do not take a geni to thk of other reasons for childlsns than beg a homosexual. And the medieval world, a homosexual kg would have likely also been married (to a woman) and fathered children (the kgs Edward II and Jam I e to md), bee no matter what one’s sexual proclivi were, producg an heir and prervg dynastic succsn was paramount.
Although their marriage do not appear to have been one of the world’s greatt love match, there is no evince of “reluctance to marry” on Richard’s part, a fact which has been ed to bolster the argument for his homosexualy.
The fal piece of evince ed to prove Richard’s homosexualy is his relatnship wh the French kg Philip Augt. ” But do this text give a homosexual nnotatn to Richard and Philip sharg a bed?
