Of course it's pornographic.
It takes a famous and fairly accurate novelization of the fourteenth century French monarchy and grafts on fantasy elements.

Since the behavior of fourteenth century French royalty was crude, violent, and promiscuous you can't avoid having even the most dry historical texts coming off as pornographic.

I started to read the first of the actual historical novels (Maurice Druon’s The Iron King) but abandoned it because of the sexual violence.

I don't have a television, so I have never watched any of the show.

I am currently on the fifth book of series!(The Iron King).

What sexual violence? Castration? Do mean sex outside of marriage or unfaithful spouses?
