I was never aware that the aristocracy needed any particular reason for adultery.

No but they needed a reason to get a new wife in order to have a heir.
One of the reason Henry VIII went off is because he tried to do what his French rival did and wasn’t allowed to. Of course Henry already HAD a child from his first wife, and Louis did not.

They needed the excuse to get the approval of the Pope so they weren’t “living in sin”. Some, like Henry II didn’t give a damn.
