If he wasn’t bending Gaveston over the coffee table (or vice versa) then he wasn’t “gay”.

Lord Mountbottom?

Constitutional crisis? In 14th century England?

No.

Magna Carta? Yes.

[EvilCapitalist]

So that’s where the muslims learned it from.

[pepsi_junkie]

Magna Carta was way before Edward II.

That movie took endless liberties with history, the most notorious one being the implication that Isabella had an affair with Wallace. IRL, she was an 8yo girl in France when Wallace was executed.

9 or 10 years old, but she hadn’t left France yet (1205). She married Edward II in 1307 (when she was 12 years).

Lord Ivan Amandakissnhug of Powurbottum
“Brilliant! Why, that’s exquisite. Rather!”
Why are our cousins so ghey?

So the “She Wolf of France” was Edward’s beard.

She basically engineered the Hundred Years War, launched by her son Eddie III.

[TheWriterTX]

I know. That was what, 1200’s? I’m not aware of England having a Constitution in the 1400’s. That is why the phrase “Constitutional crisis” in the article had me shaking my head.

[DouglasKC]

Everything in history was gay apparently.

[dfwgator]

Archie Bunker was right about England.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Nothing like making money off defaming a guy that cannot defend himself...like child porn.

Not an artist, but a perv of the worst sort. Maybe london will welcome him.

Is that what they call debauchery and filth these days? pioneering play is code for ‘some gay producer somewhere wants to bastardize history

[Dr. Franklin]

Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a second cousin of King Charles III who is currently competing on US reality show The Traitors, is widely described as "the first openly gay royal".

Just call Ivar Gaylord, although I doubt he is happy.

[dfwgator]

Lord Mountbatten, who was blown up by the IRA liked little boys.
