I daresay there were a lot of kings who were falsely accused of sexual transgressions. The political battles were just as fierce back then as now.

In addition, ONE priest's accusation does not make it true. Mighty, mighty scant evidence.

This is what Roger of Hoveden wrote of Richard I and Philip II

"They ate every day at the same table and from the same dish, and at night their beds did not separate them. And the king of France loved him as his own soul; and they loved each other so much that the king of England [Richard's father] was absolutely astonished at the passionate love between them and marveled at it."

But maybe they were just good friends...
