Edward’s father was Edward I, also known as “Longshanks.” Both characters were seen in Mel Gibson’s film “Braveheart.” Edward II’s homosexual tendencies were shown in the film, although I doubt the episode of the King’s tossing his son’s lover out the window actually occurred.
Actually I think he did, he was a French Adventurer, but if I recall he was actually killed out of the castle,by agents of ole’ Longshank.
