In the history of the English monarchy their have been six kings and one queen who are believed to have been homosexual or bisexual. They defied the religious, homophobic times in which they lived and many paid dearly for it. They may have worn crowns and wielded power but at the end of the day they were human too. Here are their stories...
William II Rufus (1087 - 1100)
Richard I (1189-1199)
Edward II (1307-1327)
Richard II (1377-1400)
James I (1603 - 1625)
William III (1689-1702)
Anne (1702-1714)

The Orange in the Irish flag is not a tribute to King William, it represents the protestant Irish and the Green represents the catholic Irish and the White stands for peace and unity of the two.
Why do you think Orange represents protestantism? This association is born from the house of Orange, the same house William was from
Marsupial Mole yes it is but since then it has come to represent the Protestant religion in Ireland. Here’s a Wikipedia link that explains the origin.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ireland
@@seamus1965 I'm irish, a Catholic and the orange in the Irish Tricolour represents William of Orange and the Orange Order.
Michelle Martine Aicken Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to the Irish cause,[3][4] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics and Protestants.
The significance of the colours outlined by Meagher was, "The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between Orange and Green and I trust that beneath its folds the hands of Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics may be clasped in generous and heroic brotherhood."
@@seamus1965 I obviously know what it means but I was just giving my two cents!

Indeed. Somebody had to set an example.
There was some story going around which I think was just a joke. Before the conclave that elected Pope John X111 when the cardinals were preparing in Rome and receiving well wishes support, one Bishop turned up at a gathering of supporters for Cardinal Roncalli attired in magnificent episcopal vestment which upstaged all the others including Cardinal Roncalli. When the Bishop went forward to give him the kiss of peace greetings Roncalli whispered "If I am elected Pope, you can forget any hopes of receiving a red hat from me."
I thought Anne being a lesbian was just a rumor started by Sarah out of jealousy
It was. But, since The Favourite came out, no one bar historians and history students pays any attention to that fact.
Lmfao then Sarah and my childhood bully had something in common.

These are excellent videos. Very well researched and beautifully presented. What I find ironic, is the number of 'haters' that there are indicated via the Thumbs Down feature. Of course, there are far more Thumbs Up, and deservedly so. You have to wonder what some of these people who give you the thumbs down are threatened by? It seems so petty and stupid of them, and probably is in the long run. I think we can probably correctly guess just what it is that those people are threatened by. At any rate, thanks for the excellent videos, Lindsay. They are extremely good.
I don’t know how much of this video is accurate. There are many mistakes. Not just with some of the names. But also with some of the dates. If the person who made this video. Got that information wrong. How can people rely on any of the information.

As far as gay royalty is concerned the late Roman emperor Heliogabalus surely takes first prize -he actually got married to his favorite(male) charioteer in a public ceremony .However, he was dead by his mid twenties as his excesses were too much for a usually blase Roman public! Another notable gay/bisexual royal was an Islamic ruler in medieval Spain of the Ummayad caliphate -he had a harem of beautiful women and also a harem of good looking men -beat that one!
Kalo Arepo Homosexuality is haram. He was not a Muslim.
@@Miquelalalaa lol. I slept with many muslim men. Some says anal is haram but blowjob is ok :D
@@Miquelalalaa If you are a caliph -i.e an absolute monarch you can do anything you want -stuff the religious prohibitions!
heliogabalus also was a transvestite & he would sneak down to the Ostian docks in cognito & prostitute himself as that's where a good deal of male prostitution went on (think "sailors" on long shore leave.) he once suffocated an entire room of diners in Domitian's palace by releasing massive amounts of rose petals from the ceiling which was a technology, at the time, but these diners were literally up to their necks in rose petals. it is said he also locked young children in rooms w/snakes & animals of every kind & used to listen to them die. his mother ruled in the palace, with him. they were both dismembered & tossed into the SEWAGE PIPELINE which shows how the romans chose to remember heliogabalus (aka "elagabalus" . . .
@@rundbaum Yes it's a wonder he is not as well known to the general public as are Nero and Caligula as he seems to have completely outdone them in terms of excess and outrage -it's a wonder Fellini or Hollywoodhaven't made extravaganza movies about his life -I know there is an opera by the early Venetian composer called "Eliogabalo" -this has been successfully revived in many places including in the U.S. and there are sections of it on "TH-cam."Composers name is Cavalli who succeeded Monteverdi as the composer of spectacular operas in Seventeenth century Venice.

Good point oh well this still goes on today as we speak 600 years later it hasn't changed a thing.
@@insertusername4079 Aren't the queen and her husband cousins as well? Aren't they both Victoria's great-grandchildren?
The inaccuracy begins very early. Robert was not the younger brother of William II and Henry I but the eldest of the three. He succeeded his father as Duke or Normandy.
So many conjectures presented as facts and outright false information here, it's hard to know where to start. Three very simple examples -
1. There is zero evidence that Richard I had an affair with Philip and quite a bit of evidence to the contrary. "A Lion in Winter" does not constitute a reliable source people. The "affair" was created for the sake of added drama. France and England hated each other, no jilted lover needed.
2. Edward II was probably smothered. The popular rumor that he was killed with a hot poker up the rectum started because the populace thought that would be a fitting death for a homosexual. He have affairs with men, but this video makes it sound like that is the reason his "favorites" were killed. If he had just slept with men, it would have been a scandal but probably stopped there. The unprecedented political power given to the favorites and their abuse of the nobles got them killed.
3. Anne was likely not homosexual. Sarah Churchill was Anne's closest friend, but, when Sarah was afraid she was losing influence with Anne, she blackmailed her the threat of the false rumor.
Were there homosexual kings? Of course, and James I most definitely was one. One solid bit of history this video gets right. As for Richard II, he attempted to keep Henry (later Henry IV) from his inheritance and Henry led a revolt against him. Combine this with his unprecedented cruelty and you don't need to invent homosexuality where there was none to find the reason for a revolt.
Edit: Somewhat less egregiously incorrect, but one does not need to be a member of the royal family to be made a duke. While it is most commonly bestowed upon members of the ruling family, the monarch may grant Letters Patent to anyone he or she chooses, thus bestowing a dutchy upon them and their (typically male) heirs.
Thank you for the correction.
When the favorite came out I looked up info about queen anna. My money is on that she was lesbian. Those two where mighty suspicious.
King James most certainly was not a sodomite. That claim came from a former knight that King James unknighted because of his behavior, further more that ex night made the claim 25 years after the death of the king and it was disproven.
Jennifer you simply don’t get it . I have been married to a British Aristocrat and all of what is in the video is true . Churchill and Queen Anne, the red hot poker all of it . How do I know? Having dinners with every family that was relating the history downwards. So get your middle class know it all prurient nonsense out of here.They are not conjectures. Just the hard core GAY truth. Get over it .
🐼@@trillsamuel4367
Anne was not gay. That was a rumor put about by Sarah after she lost favor and political influence; accusations of lesbianism was (and still is) a common way to try and discredit or disgrace a woman.
Well, it's not a rumour you'd expect she'd put about BEFORE she lost favour, would she?
@@floraposteschild4184 She did it on purpose to save face on being let go of her offices. She also wanted to get back at her cousin Abigail for supplanting her. Sarah was very much in love with her husband as Queen Anne was in love with her husband. This video needed much more research than looking them up on Wikipedia. This one did a disservice on Queen Anne as well as the others.
Also, although only one of Anne's children lived into childhood (to about age 8 or 9), she was pregnant about 12 or 13 times in her child-bearing life, the pregnancies all through her husband, a Danish prince, I think.
@@57highland Queen Anne was pregnant 17 times I believe. she would never had had time to be a lesbian. Poor woman did not have an easy life, Queen or not.
@@57highland Queen Anne was pregnant at least 17 times. That must have been so awful for her.
Queen Anne was straight and loved her husband. She got pregnant 17 times. Many of them stillbirths; the rest, children who died shortly after being born. But that is a different story.
Sarah Churchill was straight and loved her husband. She married him in secret, because both their families were against the match, and had a long and devoted relationship, always supporting each other. They had 7 children.
The two ladies were best friends since childhood. Best friends, nothing more. That, until the queen grew tired of arguing with lady Sarah over politics. So, she found a new best friend in Lady Abigail Masham, who was kind, gentle, and subtle, and did NOT argue over politics.
It was an enraged, fallen from favor Sarah the one to imply the queen was having a lesbian affair with Abigail, because the queen refused to be rid of her, but this was not true.
The queen had lost 17 children, AND her husband in 1708. She often suffered from depression, she needed kindness and empathy. Sarah gave her none of that, but Abigail did.
The Favourite IS NOT historically accurate. It barely got the names right.
I'm afraid I have to correct you on the royal succession. While the rules you quoted were in force for over 200 years, they were changed in 2015, when the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 came into force. It's now absolute primogeniture for royals born after 28th October 2011, so just the order of births regardless of gender, and people married to Roman Catholics are now eligible. The monarch themself must still be protestant though as they are the head of the Church of England.
I think being married to a Catholic was much more important when the monarch still had some actual power. You only have to look at the scheming parties behind Henry VIII's wives to realize how much influence people believed those guiding the queen could have over the king. Nowadays the idea that a Catholic spouse of a monarch could influence politics and the running of the country in a Catholic direction is obviously ridiculous.

I NEVER realized, the british flag is the english and scottish combined xD
It is actually THREE flags all in one. The English - a red cross on white background. The Irish a red diagonal cross on white, and the Scottish flag of St. Andrew, a white diagonal cross on blue background. Combines they care called the Union Jack.
The Irish (red) saltire was added, I believe, in 1801.
@@heronimousbrapson863 in school when younger we were thought this in Ireland.
@@tordyclark this part of flag for Ireland of st Patrick, the red X was made up by the English to complete the flag and have a hold on Ireland.
The red cross isn't actually the Englisc flag. The White Dragon on a red background is. That red cross is, like so many things forced upon us, is yet another imposter.
Thanks, some interesting stuff there, but also some inaccuracies. When England and Scotland were joined together, Wales had already been united with England. But it was considered a principality of England, rather than a country in it's own right which is why it wasn't included in the Union flag, but it should still have been included in the map.
The green, white and orange flag is the flag of the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland's official flag is the Union flag.
Male primogeniture was abolished in Britain, by the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, which established absolute primogeniture.
she was describing what the orange means today in the flag of ireland not what the official flag on NI is. also describing the notable 1701 act as it stood when it was created, not what the rules are today. Plus was iyt really that big of a deal that wales is not shaded red when the clip was simply describing the joining of the two kingdoms into GB?

Really liked all the historical information in the video, however, despite the title there were very few facts to say any kings or queens were gay. Lots of rumour and historical propaganda however.
All to serve to the benefit of a gay agenda.
seversl incorrect information too
Most of what has been said in this video is myth and no facts substantiate any of it. But interesting nonetheless
@The NIFB Jesus PROOF?? Link??
@@guyfroml Yeah you're right, no one in human history was ever gay until it was invented in the 20th century
Interesting about Anne’s potential medical problems and all her problems having children. I had read that it was possible that she had RH negative blood, which could have caused terrible problems in having children, as well.
I just can’t imagine.
That’s the downside to a spare: dangerous rivalry
Despite the inaccuracies, this was an interesting video. If anything it furthered the discourse on LGBT in pre-IR England.
Upon James' ascension to the English throne he became James I of England, but remained James VI of Scotland. They were two separate countries ruled under one monarch and didn't become one until the Acts of Union of 1701, creating the State of Great Britain. They still are two different countries, as is Wales a country of it's own, but under British rule.
I have never heard of Richard II being homosexual he was in love with his first wife Anne of Bohemia. He was so broken over her death. Just because they didn't have any children after around ten years of marriage doesn't mean he was gay. Maybe bisexual, if anything at all, but not gay.
Men have been gay through out history.
First written about in Greece
@@SamSung-nf6tr That's not what I'm saying. Yes, men and women have been gay throughout history but it wasn't, most of the time, outwardly shown. All I'm saying is that there is no evidence supporting Richard II as gay only speculation because he had no children by his first wife. (I wouldn't count Isabella as his second wife since it was never consummated since she was about nine years old when they married)
He wasn’t. I wrote an extremely long comment to the person who intimated that he was a homosexual because he was married twice and had no children. To write this and not know that his second wife was only 10 when he was killed has me wondering why he didn’t read about the two marriages.

الملك نفركارع
يُعرف أيضاً بـ"بيبي الثاني"، وهو فرعون مصري من ملوك الأسرة السادسة (2284 - 2184 ق.م تقريباً)، عاش في عصر المملكة الوسطى. ويذكر نص مدوّن على ثلاث قطع من البردي، يعود تاريخها إلى فترة ما بين الأسرتين الـ19 والـ12، أن الفرعون نفركارع كانت تربطه علاقة جنسية مع قائده العسكري ساسينيت، ويقول إنه كان "يخرج تحت جنح الليل وحده، ويدخل متخفياً بيت القائد العسكري، ويقضي هناك أربع ساعات، وبعدما يقضي جلالته منه وطره، يعود إلى مكانه". ويؤكد ريتشارد باركنسون، عالم المصريات البريطاني، في دراسته للنص أنه "بالاستناد إلى الدلائل النصية يتبيّن أن مصر لم تعرف أي نوع من التصنيفات الجنسية، ولكن حدوث الممارسات الجنسية بين الرجال كانت معلومة"، مضيفاً أن "الرغبة الجنسية بين الرجال، معترف بوجودها"، ومشيراً إلى أن العلاقة المذكورة في قصة الملك نفركارع وقائده العسكري ساسينيت، الذي لم يكن متزوجاً، "توحي بوجود مشاعر بين الرجال في دوائر الصفوة، وذلك على الرغم من الاستهجان العام لمثل هذه الرغبات".
This channel is so great! Thanks!
I think there was a mixup of the sons of William the conqueror. Robert was the oldest (born sometime between 1051 and 1054), and given Normandy, William Rufus was the middle (sometime between 1057 and 1060) and given England, and Henry was the youngest (born 1068) and told to make due with 5000 pounds of silver.
.Thank you for the video. It was very informative. I didn't know some of the info. Keep up the good work.
Janice Trent ...for the record, King James I was NOT a Sodomite. He was a happily married man with several children. He wrote love letters to his Queen throughout his reign. The people loved him. He was, a man of small stature. For years the Catholics tried to assassinate him because he was a Protestant. He did not tolerate three things, Smokers, People who practiced Black Magic, and Sodomites. The last two were put to death if found guilty. The accusation of him being a Sodomite came 20 plus years after his death, when most of his generation died out. Then some hater wrote a book about being a sodomite. You only have to look at the British recorded history to know. Btw...he did sleep with men by his bedside, HIS BODYGUARDS. Henry the VIII did the same, was he a Sodomite, I think not. Don’t believe everything unless you do some of your own research.
Richard wasn't gay either.
@@FYRFOX198 ok thanks for the info. I will look it up.
“his heart be not for women but taken by a nobleman” bro my heart 😭😭😭
Robert was the eldest and received Normady. Henry was the youngest and received the 5000 pounds. Turned off after the 1st minute.
Agree? But Normady? Correct it,
"Elizabeth had been a king and now they have a queen." The shade of it all.

Hey, I only knew about two of them! I think I can safely say Edward II’s executioner had a singularly medieval sense of the appropriate.
So much hate and tragedy. Kings should perish for being kings not for being gay
Should’ve just called the vid “Queens of England.” 🤷🏽♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
richard II's rule can be summed up with 'i can excuse taxing the peasantry, stabbing them in the back, and then also stabbing your nobles in the back, BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT LOVING MEN'
"The king would wrap his arms around his lover's neck snd profess his love for him, before embracing him in a kiss"
Historians: "...but like as friends right"
"he dicked him down and the whole town could hear"
Historians: you weren't in the bedroom though to actually seeee it.
"a man was standing there watching the whole thing and wrote about it in this letter."
Historians: language of the times.
William Rufus was the second oldest. Robert was the oldest and had Normandy. Henry was the one that just got money
Love this, especially the ending. Beautifully annunciated Lindsay, great work ✌🏻
Queen Anne was not lesbian, the only evidence for this claim is her notes to her friends in the court which were rather too friendly, but that was just how people especially women communicated in the 18th Century, women would talk intimately with their friends, that was just the norm back then, not like now when you hug your friend they call you gay, people in the past had common sense
richard i sounds like a chaotic closeted bisexual
for Queen Anne I can recommend the movie The Favourite. While it embellishes an intrigue plot by the new woman, its still a great gay movie and the actresses, especially the one portraiting the queen is awesome.
Robert was the oldest child of William the Conqueror. Henry was the youngest of his child. William Rufus was the second son of the older kids.
this was so awesome!! i knew none of this. you are clearly on your game, here; very well researched. i never knew queene anne was lesbian!! there was a cafeteria in my hometown called queene anne that had been there since the 50s & we used to eat there all the time. i never knew that william--as in "william & mary college"--was gay!!! . . .
It’s NOT well researched at all! William III wasn’t gay and Queen Anne wasn’t a lesbian. Read a decent history book by a British historian if you want accuracy instead of this tripe!
The Duke of Buckingham didn't lose Royal protection on James I's death; he remained a favourite of James' son Charles. Unfortunately, Buckingham was very unpopular with the people and Charles was unable to protect him when John Felton stabbed him to death.
Thank you, saved me from having to point this out
Defied? 3 of the people on that list were pretty violently killed
Canada was first called New France, obviously not colonized by James I.
Where do you get the region Nova Scotia from, after King James 1, colonies and named after Scotland (ie new Scotland)
That’s sad they beheaded his lover hopefully they are together in the after life
Please stop saying “homosexual” like you’re a 1920s doctor making a medical diagnosis instead of talking about real people’s perfectly valid (possible) sexualities.

Correction: William II was not the eldest son of William The Conqueror, his brother Robert (Duke of Normandy) was the eldest son.
The way they dressed I thought they all were fruity...white stockings & capes? All those jewels & medallians.....fly, cool gay dudes 😂
1:10, robert was the eldest and got normandy, william was the second and got england, henry was the youngest and got 5000 pounds
William Rufus was actually the third son of William the Conqueror; Robert (who became Duke of Normandy on his father's death) was the eldest, Richard (who died young in a hunting accident) was the second and Henry the youngest. The question of whether William's death in the New Forest was an accident or a deliberate assassination has long been debated by historians with no definite conclusion having been reached.
It was interesting, but...now the primogeniture thing is in the past. They changed that so Charlotte could possibly in hereto in the strange event her bro George somehow needs to abdicate or does not grow up to inherit.
"... could possibly in hereto..." English?!
0:48 Incorrect. Robert Curthose was the older son of William "the Conqueror", and was who inherited Normandy. William Rufus was given England. And Henry was given some money and told to shove off.
Henry then allied himself with his big brother, Robert and got some land on the continent. Henry managed to stay out of the way while Robert and William Rufus, who _hated_ each other, went at it. Eventually, Henry was the last brother standing and inherited both Normandy and England.
I find it interesting how plagues and climate changes are always blamed on the gays, and not the destruction of love (God's perhaps) perpetrated by haters.
16:36 By that time, England controlled both Wales and Ireland
What's amazing about this is that the fact that Mary II was certified as gay by historians is not mentioned in this video, but William III is referred to by historians as a rumor.
Shouldn't this video be all but infinitely longer?
13 year old king James the first relationship with his 36 year old cousin I found somewhat shocking
I love how half of these comments are some form of jokes, whether it be that there about historians saying “nah they’re just friends”
It was common to share beds. For political reasons and for convenience. No kidding
Robert got the primary land as the oldest which was the duchy of Normandy. William Rufus as 2nd son got England, and Henry as the youngest got the 5000 pounds.
6:50 Ah, yes. The ripe old age of ten
Actually William Rufus was not the eldest he was the second eldest son of William the Conqueror, and was given England because of Norman inheritance laws in which the eldest received what William I received, so the eldest got Normandy while William Rufus got England because whatever William I gained in life he could portion out how he saw fit.
What a mesmerizing hypnotic voice this narrator has
"Edward Longshanks" ....speaks volumes 😂
The two Scotish princes, Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick were fond of each other.
Wait so the Bible was ordered to be written by one of only 6 gay kings of England lol
Just a minor correction: William Rufus was William's 3rd son, but the second of those alive at his father's death.
Robert, the oldest son, didn't inherit England because Normandy was inevitably his.
Norman rulers left the lands they themselves inherited to their oldest, and all they conquered they could split however they liked.
That music in the background is historically inaccurate.
Go ahead Paul, tell us what the proper music was for the times. You know your just dying to fill us in, you thrive on correcting others. Is this not the truth.
Paul Martin You’re supposed to start that sentence with ‘Actually’, then tell Bart Simpson to leave your store. 🤓
