What incident The article says As a result of an incident during Richard s coronation celebrations great persecution of the Jews took place throughout the county Presumably this should say country but what incident is this Details Don t leave us in suspense Talk 08 53 May 26 2004 UTC Homosexuality Sorry to overrule a point but there is no creditable way to suggest that Richard was not homosexual despite the fact that the category homosexual did not exist in the middle ages He had sex with men many times and showed almost no interest in women Any respectable biography will say the same I felt it was important to make this point and have changed a sentence or two to reflect this but not made a large deal out of it for instance not created a separate section Ft Louie This is IMO a good point There were a couple of lines devoted to this as well as King Rick s inclusion in the GLBTQ article category which were reverted by an anon as anon vandalism bizarre no This should be restored as there is at least excellent anecdotal evidence that Richard did indeed have a predominating interest in men 16 39 13 Apr 2005 UTC Again Richard being a bisexual or gay met a person in denial or person in some other way disturbed by the fact that there have been non heterosexuals also in history as well as there are today who on 29 5 2005 vandalized this article by removals This time the vandal used the username Alphax As above indicated previous similar vandal attempts occurred in March 2005 and December 2004 Hopefully the vandal or vandals are enjoined from such future activity Alphax wasn t vandalizing don t be ridiculous He was removing what appears to be extreme speculation written in poor English You make a number of claims that would benefit from a source where does Richard confess to being homosexual Note also that the IP you were using to add the material the first time also added similar nonsense to Humphrey and Isabella s articles including Category Faghags to Isabella I think you Adam should not be ridiculous If you look carefully at the edit history of this article you see that most of those texts were added by other editors months ago And you have the basic reference the biographer mentioned by that editor and listed in the references obviously has answered your question Please read it I haven t I trust on the previous editor and I have not time to seek all books As to Alphax since that person clearly did not read this talk page nor offered here the reasons for removal before removals it is regarded as act of vandalism I removed the stuff because it was badly written lacked references and was there was a link to a website that attempted to prove the claims also without references 08 10 24 Jun 2005 UTC The problem with Richard s alleged homosexuality is that no one not a single primary or secondary source from Richard s time unti WWII ever mentioned that Richard liked men in fact he was often cited for his abnormal lust for women The contrary view first appeared in The Plantagenets by J H Harvey in 1949 The theory remains highly controversial and to be honest viewed with some skepticism by the mainstream academic world It is a theory worth stating in the article but it should be noted that there remains serious discussion on whether or not it s true Well to be honest you can simply remove that part entirely if you want 62 78 seems to have moved on to other articles and I know I ve removed his nonsense from a number of other articles with no further reaction from him I think one of the arguments for it is his lack of offspring legitimate or otherwise one illegitimate child if I recall correctly But a bout of mumps or other infection could have curtailed his fertility Or perhaps he was the ungenerous sort who didn t acknowledge his illegitimate kids The book Warriors of God is an excellent portrayal of King Richard s life including his homosexual relationship with the King of France That s exactly why I am a descendent of Phi
