DYK #EdwardII (b. 1284) was a sexual hypocrite? “Sodomites” were #BurnedAlive in his reign. But his barons hated him for his own #sodomy. They allegedly skewered him to death anally for favoring his lover, #PiersGaveston. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #QueerHistory

#Hamlet at the RSC (which I saw for the second time as part of a two-show visit alongside #EdwardII):
Loved seeing this again. Luke Thallon gave another great performance, which was subtly different from the first time I saw it. Enjoyed seeing the staging from a different perspective too!

#ChristopherMarlowe’s #EdwardII was the first to explicitly depict the king’s relationships with his male favorites as sexual. A new #RSC production asks: How would a #gay #royal relationship be received today? #LGBTQHistory

@thebhp.bsky.social I posted before that I started to listen again to the build up to Hastings, and I'm confused. Jamie mentions a poem in the Vita Edwardii that is about 4 rivers. Ostensibly being the 4 sons of Godwin.

Who were Edward II’s ‘favorites?’
#EdwardII was married to #IsabellaofFrance. They were the parents of #EdwardIII. They married in 1308 and Piers Gaveston joined their household a few years later. Gaveston was also married with a child. 1/5

Cuckoo wasp | Parnopes edwardii

I rescued this little gem of a wasp from the birdbath. A difficult photo because these little wasps don’t stop moving. After about 5 minutes, she was dry & able to fly free.

'Southern Rock Lobster' is the common species name. Jesus edwardii to use the scientific name.
Usually referred to as crayfish by most when eating it.

Overheard coming out of #EdwardII last night:

That was very gay.

Yeah, and murderous.

Very gay and murderous.

(I think Marlowe would approve)
