==Marriage and alleged homosexual==

It is sometimes recorded that King Richard was homosexual, but there is little direct evidence. He was acknowledged fathering an illegitimate son from before his marriage. He alleged to have “love feelings” when he first met his future wife Berengaria, but it later went cold. It was possibly a typical political marriage for him. But Berengaria was deeply in love with him. The British monarchy website makes no mention of his homosexuality http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page60.asp

It is sometimes recorded that King Richard was homosexual, and it is totally true. He was acknowledged fathering an illegitimate son from before his marriage, and that was likely because he got drunk and had sex with one (1) woman. He alleged to have “love feelings” when he first met Philip II Augustus, but it later went cold because he found new partners. His marriage was a typical political marriage. Sadly, Berengaria was deeply in love with him.  

His sexuality may be argued, but he is known as a complex character, who on one hand enjoyed the rough male companionship of the military, and spent most of his reign under arms; whilst at the same time being accomplished in the arts of the troubadours with their focus on courtly love.  

His sexuality may be argued, but he is known as a complex and very gay character, who on one hand enjoyed the rough male companionship of the military (and sex), and spent most of his reign under arms; whilst at the same time being accomplished in the arts of the troubadours with their focus on courtly love.
